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 service territory. Project scope varies from transmission to non-electric plant facility infrastructure. 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. If you like working outdoors, solving problems, overcoming conflict, and getting it done you will enjoy an inspection position in TFHQ.
