Job Description

At Atlas, we're providing services that enable communities to flourish and thrive — and if you're a Special Inspector ready to launch a hands-on career in construction inspection and committed to doing meaningful work, then this is your moment. This is an entry-level trainee role: you'll learn to test and inspect the materials that hold up buildings, roads, and major infrastructure across the Boise area, supporting high-profile work like the Micron Triton project and new projects breaking ground in 2026. We'll invest in your training and certifications from day one. Join a dynamic, value-driven, client- and community-focused environment where your work helps keep our communities safe and built to last.

Core Responsibilities

• Perform field and lab inspection and testing of construction materials — including rebar, epoxy, concrete, masonry, and asphalt — and obtain representative samples in line with project specifications.
• Review project plans and specifications to confirm work meets requirements.
• Prepare accurate test reports and a daily diary before leaving the jobsite, and keep clear records of time, supplies, training hours, timecards, and expenses.
• Complete all required safety reporting and keep assigned gear clean, calibrated, and operable.
• Support project teams across Boise, Pocatello, Idaho Falls, and surrounding areas, with availability for weekend, early-morning, or late-evening shifts as projects require.
• Communicate professionally and courteously with the public, contractors, and team members, returning calls and emails promptly

You’ll thrive here if you have

• A High School diploma or GED, plus a valid driver's license, clean driving record, and proof of insurance.
• A genuine willingness to learn — this is an entry-level trainee role, and Atlas provides the training to help you earn your ACI Field Testing Technician Grade 1 and Radiation Safety Training certifications within your first six months.
• The physical readiness for field work: lifting up to 100 lbs, repeated bending, twisting and climbing (ladders, scaffolds, and stairs), walking on irregular surfaces, and standing for extended periods.
• Comfort working outdoors in extreme weather and on active construction sites — staying safety-conscious around heavy equipment, vehicles, and materials such as radioactive testing sources, dust, chemicals, and concrete.
• General computer skills (Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint), basic math and writing skills, and the ability to read and follow procedures (foundational knowledge of construction materials testing is a plus).
• A professional, detail-oriented work ethic, clear verbal and written communication, and flexibility around variable hours.
