Precast Concrete Inspector II (PCI Level II)

What a week in this job looks like

Your week is the plant's quality record: detensioning approvals at the start of the day, a low-break investigation before the next pour uses the same mix, product acceptance for a DOT girder load with the state inspector present, and the records review that keeps the plant's PCI certification and DOT approval in place. Level I inspectors run the daily tests; you review, decide, and sign.

On owner and agency assignments you are the outside eye in someone else's plant, which means your acceptance decisions are documented well enough to stand on their own.

Certifications, training, and where this leads

Level II leads to Precast Inspector III and plant quality management. Sponsored training covers PCI Level III, ACI laboratory certifications, and DOT plant inspector qualification for the states where we work.

Pay, schedule, and travel

Pay runs $30 to $40 an hour depending on certifications held, verified experience, and the program you are assigned to. Plant hours: production pours early and stripping breaks are first thing, so days start before dawn and follow the plant's schedule, with overtime during heavy production.

Plant positions are tied to the plant's location; owner and agency inspection assignments involve travel between plants on a project basis with per diem as assigned.

Safety, quality, and the standards we work under

Precast quality control is performed to PCI MNL-116/MNL-117, the project specification, and the DOT requirements that apply, and reported under our documented AASHTO R18 quality system. A release strength is a number, not an estimate, and a piece ships when the record says it can.

Plant safety — cranes, tensioning beds, strand release, and moving product — is trained, enforced, and part of the inspector's job.
