• Monitor construction sequencing, field operations, and tunnel-specific work methods
• Document daily progress, identify deficiencies, and recommend corrective actions
• Coordinate with tunnel engineers, track specialists, contractors, and field inspection staff
• Maintain detailed field reports and support project documentation requirements
• Conduct materials inspections, quality checks, and ensure proper installation of rail and tunnel systems
• Participate in regular progress meetings and provide clear, field-informed updates

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in construction inspection with a strong emphasis on tunnel or rail infrastructure
• Solid understanding of tunnel excavation methods, temporary supports, structural concrete, rail systems, and heavy civil construction practices
• Familiarity with railroad terminology, track components, signal systems, tunnel systems, and construction documentation
• Proven experience working on major rail, tunnel, or large-scale civil infrastructure projects
• Amtrak or freight/passenger rail experience is highly desirable
• Strong communication, documentation, and organizational skills
