OVERVIEW

Assignment

This contract Construction Inspector 3 assignment is assigned to the Facilities Construction & Quality Assurance (TFHQ) work group at *** (BPA), located in Vancouver, WA. The Construction Inspector/Representative will perform quality assurance inspection services on projects that vary in nature and may include high voltage transmission, substation, fiber optic, telecommunication, and non-electric facility work. Project duration may extend up to several months and may require up to 95% travel and work in distant and isolated locations throughout the BPA service area of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, northern California and western Wyoming. Note: The Construction Inspector will observe and report conditions and performance to the COR/other federal personnel but will not be responsible for accepting work. Responsibilities are limited to testing, observing, reporting and providing input and information to the COR/other federal personnel.

Organization

Facilities Construction & Quality Assurance (TFHQ) is arguably one of the best places to work at BPA. Project assignments are both challenging and rewarding. This is where designs grow into reality, and you have pride in developing assets that keeps the lights on. Assignments will take you to some of the most remote and beautiful locations across the BPA service territory. Project scope varies from transmission to non-electric plant facility infrastructure. As the delegated field inspector, you provide quality assurance to the contractor s quality control program. Relationships are developed and maintained to create a culture where everyone is working together to deliver safety, quality, and value. This requires the ability to work independently to prioritize oversight of simultaneous construction activities where attention to detail and skillful written and oral communication is required. When issues and questions arise, you will be supported by the project construction manager and greater TFHQ team that know how to leverage subject matter experts across BPA. If you like working outdoors, solving problems, overcoming conflict, and getting it done you will enjoy an inspection assignment in TFHQ.
