- Locate and access manholes, cleanouts, and inspection points; set up traffic control or coordinate with flaggers as needed; maintain safe working clearances around open manholes and traffic.
- Conduct pre-inspection equipment checks, calibrate or zero systems as required, and perform post-inspection cleaning, storage, and basic maintenance of cameras, crawlers, cables, and van systems.
- Coordinate with Superintendents, Foremen, Project Managers, and owners’ representatives on inspection priorities, access, cleaning requirements, and deliverable schedules.
- Support pre-construction baseline surveys, post-installation acceptance inspections, defect documentation for repair scopes, and coordination with cleaning or rehabilitation crews when required.
- Maintain organized digital and physical records of inspections, equipment logs, and certifications; upload or transfer data per company protocols.
- Operate the inspection van in accordance with all traffic laws, company vehicle policies, and site access rules; keep the vehicle clean, fueled, and road-ready.
- Follow all company, OSHA, and site-specific safety rules; exercise stop-work authority for unsafe conditions; participate in daily briefings and toolbox talks.
