• Ability to travel up to 75%

Preferred (Higher Ceiling):

• ACI certification (NICET, WAQTC, ICC also valued)
• Experience supporting complex or multi-site construction projects
• Demonstrated ability to identify and escalate issues early

Work Environment

• Field-based in remote and variable conditions
• Physically active role (lifting up to 50 lbs, extended standing)
• Full PPE and safety-first discipline required

Compensation & Benefits

• Base Pay Range: $45,000 – $60,000 annually; salaried non-exempt position with overtime. 
  (Dependent on experience, qualifications, and location
• 5% annual bonus
• Medical, dental, vision
• 401(k) with company match
• Paid time off and holidays
• Ongoing training and career advancement opportunities

Who Succeeds Here

Top performers in this role:

• Treat quality as a personal standard—not a checklist
• Catch issues early and act decisively under pressure
• Maintain high accuracy and discipline in documentation
• Take ownership of outcomes across multiple job sites
