Develop strong working relationships that support repeat municipal work and long-term partnerships

Team Leadership & Development

Lead a small team of inspectors, providing direction, oversight, and mentorship
Support development of junior staff into senior inspectors and future Resident Engineers
Assist with staffing and team growth as municipal construction workload expands

Quality, Safety & Risk Management

Identify risks and implement proactive solutions related to construction, cost, and schedule
Ensure consistent quality control and adherence to contract documents

What You Need to Succeed:

Bachelor’s in Civil or Construction Engineering (preferred)
10+ years of construction inspection/resident engineering experience, including leadership
Experience serving as Resident Engineer on municipal and/or IDOT BLRS projects
Knowledge of federal/MFT-funded project requirements and IDOT procedures
Experience with IDOT District 1 coordination and municipal clients
Proficiency with IDOT CMMS (required); eBuilder preferred
Illinois P.E. preferred
Ability to meet IDOT documentation and certification requirements within 6 months of hire
