SPM Resources is seeking a Sr. Transportation Construction Inspector with a growing transportation engineering firm in West Columbia, SC. It is a great opportunity to join a growing team looking to add to their dynamic delivery and leadership group. Will be dedicated to a multi-year $2B+ capital improvement design-build project for the SCDOT. Will act as the lead representative coordinating with major heavy civil contractors for the development and replacement of major roads and bridges.

The Sr. Inspector is a senior, proactive leadership role responsible for protecting a major $350M project from quality-driven cost, schedule, and reputational risk. This position is not a compliance-only or box-checking role. The role is expected to actively engage with construction operations, identify quality risks early, and prevent non-conforming work before it occurs, rather than reacting after deficiencies are identified by Quality Assurance (QA) or Owner Verification (OV). This role is designed to prevent quality failures—not document them after the fact.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Manage, implement, and continuously improve the Contractor’s Quality Control Program in accordance with the approved CQMP.
• Update QC components of the CQMP as required to address changing work activities or identified deficiencies.
• Promote awareness of SCDOT requirements and stakeholder expectations throughout UBJV staff and subcontractors.
• Report to the Joint Venture Management Team on QC performance, trends, and improvement opportunities. Pre-Planning & Activity Planning
• Constructability review of plans for errors or issues.
• Manage and implement the Pre-Planning and Activity Planning process for all major construction activities.
• Schedule, lead, and document Pre-Activity Meetings prior to commencement of work.
• Verify readiness of work activities before release to production. Hold Points & Inspection Authority, schedule, manage, and document all CQMP and Appendix A hold points.
• Verify all prerequisites are satisfied prior to releasing hold points.
• Exercise authority to stop work and reject non-conforming materials or workmanship.
• Coordination with QA and Owner Verification and Coordinate with the Independent Quality Firm (IQF) to ensure proper staffing, coverage, and compliance with the CQMP.
• Provide oversight of QA activities from a contractor QC perspective without interfering with acceptance functions.
• Serve as the primary QC liaison with SCDOT and the Owner Verification Firm. Non-Conformance & Corrective Action and Manage Deficiency Notices (DNs) and Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs) through closure.
• Lead root cause analysis and corrective action development and ensure timely documentation, tracking, and resolution of quality issues.

Field QC Inspections & Reporting

• Perform or oversee QC inspections for self-performed and subcontracted work and ensure inspections and testing are performed by properly certified personnel.
• Review daily QC inspection reports and weekly QC submissions, Environmental & Traffic Control Compliance
• Oversee environmental compliance inspections including SWPPP and erosion control.
• Oversee Maintenance of Traffic and Traffic Control Plan compliance. Documentation & Records Management
• Manage QC document control systems including inspection reports, test results, and material certifications. Ensure records are complete, accurate, and immediately available for audit or review. Materials & Laboratory Coordination
• Coordinate QC laboratory scheduling and testing activities.
• Ensure sampling and testing are performed using AASHTO-accredited laboratories.
• Coordinate QC responsibilities with subcontractors, including paving subcontractor-provided HMA QC.
• The QCM reports directly to the JV Executive Management Team and does not report to the Construction Manager. The QCM has independent authority to stop work, manage and release hold points, reject non-conforming work, and direct corrective actions as required.

REQUIREMENTS (Must have or be able to get certifications)

 5–15 years of progressive QC experience in heavy civil highway and bridge construction with experience managing QC programs on large DOT projects.
