**Qualifications and Experience**:
Grade 12 completion or an acceptable equivalent of education and experience. Previous construction experience in areas such as bridge repair, road construction and surveying are an asset.

A valid driver’s license is required. Work is often performed in isolated areas, therefore access to a reliable vehicle is required.

The ability to read design plans and documents with an aptitude for mathematics is essential. You are a self-motivated individual who is effective at working independently with mínimal supervision. Proven skills in time management, organization, and attention to detail are critical in this role.

Your exceptional interpersonal and communication (verbal and written) skills are key when liaising with staff, contractors, and the traveling public. You consistently maintain a professional and courteous disposition and hold a high standard for client and customer service.

This position requires you to climb, lift and carry various equipment throughout construction sites.

**Additional Information**:
Incumbents will be trained in the duties of Inspector, Checker and Weigher. At the end of the training and/or testing process, employees who are deemed qualified are expected to perform the duties of Inspector, Checker and Weigher when required in the zone(s) where they normally work.
