You will be an excellent communicator and confident in making sound engineering judgments.
Qualifications & Experience: You will be an experienced engineer with a sound knowledge of your engineering discipline and will be part of a multi‑disciplined inspection team within your geographic area. You will report to a Team Manager and work from home with client base within reasonable travel distance. Because this role is SAFed governed, we ideally require:
