Job Description

At KLH Engineers, our team of engineers, surveyors, and drafters, works on projects that ensure safe drinking water gets where it needs to go, wastewater is properly treated, and stormwater stays under control. Since 1982, we’ve partnered with numerous municipal clients across Pennsylvania, delivering top-notch services in water, wastewater, stormwater, and general municipal engineering. We bring creativity, technical excellence, and practicality to every project, ensuring our engineering solutions not only work but also make life a little easier for everyone.

We’re currently looking for a Construction Inspector (Resident Observer) to join our growing team in our Pittsburgh office. If you enjoy being out in the field, ensuring projects are built the right way, and playing a key role in delivering high-quality infrastructure, you’ll fit right in. What You’ll Do

• Perform on-site inspections to ensure construction work is completed in accordance with plans, specifications, and contract documents.
• Monitor construction activities on water and wastewater infrastructure projects, ensuring quality, accuracy, and compliance.
• Document daily operations, installed quantities, and field measurements through clear and detailed reporting.
• Serve as a key point of contact in the field, regularly interacting with contractors, property owners, clients, and engineers.
• Attend and participate in project meetings, including pre-construction conferences, progress meetings, and other job-related discussions.
• Review contractor applications for payment and provide recommendations to the project manager based on observed progress and compliance.
• Assist in responding to project issues or emergencies in coordination with the project manager.
• Support construction managers and project teams by providing accurate, real-time field insights.
• Ensure all work is performed in accordance with company safety policies and standards.

Who You Are

• You have at least 3 years of construction inspection or observation experience, ideally on water and/or wastewater infrastructure projects.
• You can read and interpret construction plans, specifications, and contract documents with confidence.
• You communicate clearly and professionally, both in writing and in person, with a variety of stakeholders.
• You’re comfortable working independently in the field but also collaborating effectively with project teams.
• You are detail-oriented and take pride in ensuring work is completed correctly and to a high standard.
• You have a valid driver’s license and reliable transportation.
• You’re dependable, organized, and able to manage responsibilities across active job sites.

Why KLH?

• We’ll give you the space to do what you do best—be a construction inspector. 
• We’re big enough to tackle complex, high-impact projects in-house, but small enough that your ideas won’t get lost in the shuffle.
• You’ll work alongside a smart, collaborative, and genuinely supportive team.
• We offer a flexible work schedule. 
• We believe in investing in our people through mentorship, continued learning, and opportunities for growth.

If you're ready to take the next step in your career and join our top-notch team, one that values your contributions, supports your growth, and offers meaningful project work, we’d love to hear from you. Apply today to discover how your skills and experience can make a real impact at KLH and with the clients we proudly serve.
