About Us
Building and maintaining our provincial infrastructure is no small job.
The Department of Public Works supports Nova Scotia’s 23,000 kilometers of roads and highways and 4,100 bridges.

Watch your hands-on experiences come to life as you support the construction of various projects through the District.
About Our Opportunity
As the Inspector/Checker/Weigher, there is no worry about doing the same thing day in, day out. Things are always changing, no two days are alike, and every job is different.
You will oversee and maintain records of the daily delivery and distribution of materials at highway construction sites. You will ensure quality of materials delivered, and accuracy in information that is recorded.
Primary Accountabilities
Assignment of duties will be in accordance with Maintenance or Construction services operational needs including duties associated with Inspector, Checker and Weigher positions such as: weighing and recording materials; ensuring trucks are operating safely and within required weights; inspecting, cleaning and calibrating scales; and overseeing contractor activities. You will also be required to assist the Survey Technician with onsite duties on a regular basis. District operating policies and procedures and geographic differences across the province may dictate the nature and methods of the work performed.
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 minimal 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.
