Precast Concrete Inspector III (PCI Level III)

What a week in this job looks like

The week is programs and audits: a plant QC manual revision before a PCI audit, a supplier plant audit for an owner who wants to know their bridge girders are coming from a plant that can make them, a structural acceptance question on a girder with a cracked end block, and the Level II inspector who needs to see how you handled it. You still walk the yard, because the plant floor is where the manual gets tested.

You are also the practice's precast memory — the plants that hold their certification and the ones that struggle every cycle, and why.

Certifications, training, and where this leads

Precast Inspector III is a senior technical seat. The path from here is leading the precast and structural inspection practice, or plant quality management with a certified producer.

Pay, schedule, and travel

Pay runs $38 to $50 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.

How hiring works, and our commitment

Apply with your PCI certification level, the plants and product lines you have worked in, and your ACI certifications. Expect a direct conversation with the people you would work for, references that get called, and a written offer consistent with this posting. The role requires a valid driver's license and the ability to be present on active jobsites, with pre-employment screening consistent with jobsite and client requirements.

We are an equal opportunity employer and consider every applicant without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, or veteran status.
