Junior Concrete Inspector

Our New York client, a nationally recognized special-inspection and engineering firm, is hiring a Junior Concrete Inspector to support concrete placement on high-rise and metro-infrastructure projects across the five boroughs. New York is one of the most demanding construction environments in the country — vertical builds, congested sites, specialty and high-performance mixes, and strict DOB special-inspection requirements. In this entry-level role you'll work directly under senior inspectors on complex pours, learning the trade on some of the most challenging concrete work anywhere. It's a rare opportunity to build your career where the standards are highest.

About the Role

A typical day puts you on an active high-rise or infrastructure site, assisting a senior inspector with fresh-concrete testing, pour monitoring, and documentation while you learn how complex placements come together. You'll sample concrete, run slump, air, and temperature tests, cast cylinders, and watch how senior staff handle specialty mixes, pump placements, and tight urban logistics. You'll interact with contractors, project engineers, and the senior inspectors who mentor you, and you'll see firsthand how the NYC DOB special-inspection process works from the ground up.

Success at six months looks like this: you're running routine fresh-concrete testing independently, your field notes and daily reports are clear and reliable, senior inspectors trust you to cover straightforward placements on your own, and you've begun to understand high-performance and mass-concrete pours. You'll know your way around congested NYC sites, the local labs, and the documentation standards that DOB work demands.

What You'll Do

• Assist senior inspectors with concrete placement monitoring on high-rise and infrastructure projects
• Perform slump, air content, unit weight, and concrete temperature tests per ASTM C143, C231, C138, and C1064
• Cast, label, and field-cure compressive-strength cylinders and coordinate delivery to the laboratory
• Observe placement, consolidation, and finishing on specialty and high-performance mixes
• Verify reinforcing steel and embedded items against approved drawings before placement
• Support documentation for NYC DOB special-inspection requirements under senior guidance
• Write clear daily field reports capturing placement conditions, test results, and observations
• Help coordinate pours within tight urban site logistics — pump placements, limited staging, and street constraints
• Maintain and calibrate field testing equipment and keep accurate records

Required Qualifications

• High school diploma or GED
• 0–2 years of experience in concrete inspection, materials testing, or construction quality control
• Ability to read and interpret construction documents and structural drawings
• Strong written communication skills for clear daily reporting
• Willingness to learn and take direction from senior inspectors on complex sites
• Comfortable working outdoors and at height on active NYC construction sites
• ACI Concrete Field Testing Technician — Grade I (mandatory)

Preferred Qualifications

• ACI Concrete Field Testing Technician — Grade II
• ICC Reinforced Concrete Special Inspector and/or familiarity with NYC DOB special inspections
• Coursework in civil engineering technology or construction management
• Exposure to high-rise, high-performance, or post-tensioned concrete
• OSHA 30-hour construction safety certification and SST (Site Safety Training) card

What We Offer

• Competitive salary of $62,000–$78,000, commensurate with experience and certifications
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Paid time off, paid holidays, and 401(k) with company match
• Annual professional-development budget and full ACI/ICC certification reimbursement (exam fees and renewals)
• Mentorship from senior inspectors on some of the most complex concrete work in the country
• Transit allowance or mileage reimbursement, plus all field equipment and PPE provided

Growth & Development

This role is a launchpad. Working under senior inspectors on high-profile NYC projects, you'll build experience fast — advancing from Junior Inspector to Concrete Inspector, then Senior Concrete Inspector, with paths into Special Inspection Lead and QA/QC Manager roles. We provide a clear certification roadmap (ACI, ICC, DOB) so you always know what the next step requires.
