A Little More About the Role

We are looking for a Contract Administrator, Construction Inspector, or a bit of both. Below you will find the accountabilities of both roles. Don’t worry about checking all the boxes, we encourage you to apply if you have experience that aligns with any or both roles.

For both roles, we are flexible with the start date and look to have the successful applicant start in May 2024 at the latest.

This role is based in Lethbridge with potential for travel throughout southern Alberta. You will require and must maintain a valid Class 5 Alberta Operator’s License. A company vehicle will be provided.

Please note that increased working hours during the construction season are to be expected for both roles, including weekends and holidays. With these increased hours you may have the option to bank overtime for time-off in slower winter months.

The Contract Administrator leads the delivery of construction services on a diverse array of civil, transportation or municipal infrastructure projects. Your role as the Contract Administrator includes:

  • Participation in procurement (e.g., constructability reviews of designs, review / preparation of tender documents, schedules of quantities, cost estimates, bid documents)
  • Leadership during construction (either on-site or from the office) interpreting and upholding contract requirements, guiding construction delivery, and bringing together post-construction activities; and

The Construction Inspector will be our on-site presence, the eyes and ears of ISL and our clients. You will actively collaborate with contractors to implement construction designs in accordance with project specifications and clients’ expectations. Your role as Construction Inspector includes:

  • On-site presence to conduct site inspections, ask questions of the contractor to confirm conformance to project specifications, their ECO, ESC, TAS plans, and the clients expectations
  • Agile mindset to identify issues before they happen, or respond immediately with your ideas and gathering relevant input from the team to resolve any on-site issues; and
  • Effective communication with contractors during progress payment preparations by confirming agreement with quantities, document daily the project progress, field changes, and deficiency lists
At ISL, we share an enthusiasm for community infrastructure. From planning through to design and construction management, we create nimble teams to tackle the unique requirements of every project. Our technical expertise encompasses transportation, community planning, civil engineering, municipal, landscape architecture, heritage services, environmental management, water, structural, community engagement, geomatics, construction services and 3D visualization . Just the right size, ISL delivers on complex projects while being small enough to maintain strong, cohesive project teams and personal client attention and service.
