Job description

Based in Western Canada for over 110 years, McElhanney offers innovative and practical engineering, surveying, mapping, planning, landscape architecture, and environmental services. As a 100% employee‑owned and operated firm, with over 1,400 staff members in 33 locations, we are proud to offer qualified staff with shareholding options in our company. At McElhanney, we work in teams to build strong connections with our staff, clients, and local communities. Our employees enjoy working here because of our varied projects, high levels of autonomy, opportunities for career development, excellent total compensation and benefits package, and collaborating with a team of great professionals.

The Opportunity

McElhanney has an exciting opportunity for a Construction Inspector to join our team in the Lower Mainland. In this role, you’ll be a key member of our Municipal Division, helping to expand and deliver high‑quality construction services to both existing and prospective clients across the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley.

We’re looking for a self‑motivated problem solver who thrives in client‑facing environments and enjoys thinking on their feet. You’ll play an active role in municipal construction projects ranging from roadworks, cycling and pedestrian improvements, bridges, utilities, and more!

Why This Role Might Be a Great Match For You

  • You're seeking an opportunity to grow and develop your technical, leadership, and client management skills without forgoing your love for being outdoors.
  • You’re a versatile team player who enjoys diverse challenges and thrives in collaborative environments.
  • You’re energized by being out in the field - solving problems on the spot, coordinating with contractors and clients, and ensuring projects run smoothly.

What You’ll Do

  • Provide on‑site contractor inspection for municipal roadwork and utility projects including monitoring the quality and progress of the work being performed and preparing daily inspection reports.
  • Maintain inventories of bid item quantities and assist with payment authorizations.
  • Identify field and design issues, facilitate corrective measures, and perform constructability reviews.
  • Ensure the team is motivated and on track; project deadlines are met within budget, and quality of work meets or exceeds client expectations.
  • Be forward‑thinking; understand the construction process and be able to learn the specifications and requirements of the work which you will be inspecting.
  • Understand the hazards and safe work procedures for each task and inspection location.
  • What You’ll Bring

  • 1–5 years of experience with municipal and transportation construction projects; consulting experience is an asset.
  • Previous field or construction related experience as assistant supervisor / inspector is an asset.
  • Post‑secondary degree or diploma in a relevant field is required.
  • Ability to be flexible in work schedule, especially during the busy inspection summer season.
  • Ability to interpret contracts, drawings, and specifications and compare them with construction in progress, detecting faulty materials and workmanship, and suggesting appropriate remedies.
  • Exceptional organization and follow‑up skills; ability to thrive in a fast‑paced, multi‑tasking environment.
  • Excellent communication skills, both written and oral.
  • Valid Class 5 driver’s licence.
  • What Can We Offer You?

    The salary range for this position is $65,000 – $90,000 per annum. McElhanney offers fair compensation that is commensurate with the individual’s education, experience, skills, and professional qualifications. The posted base salary / wage range is representative of the required level of qualifications and experience for the position as noted in the job posting. The salary offered will be based on the experience and qualifications of the successful candidate.

  • Work‑Life Harmony : Balance your personal and professional commitments. Flexible hours to fit your lifestyle.
  • Comprehensive Benefits : Maternity and parental leave top‑up program, health and dental coverage, RRSP matching, and Employee & Family Assistance Program.
  • Safe & Inclusive Workplace : A culture of respect and inclusion for all.
  • Compensation : Attractive total compensation package including a generous bonus plan.
  • Professional Development : Reimbursement for dues, educational assistance, mentorship program, workshops, and committee involvement.
  • Career Progression : Support and mentorship to shape a career path that fits your goals.
  • Relocation Support : Financial assistance if applicable.
  • Our Commitment to Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion

    At McElhanney, our unwavering commitment lies in cultivating a culture that aligns with our core values and fosters diversity, equity, and inclusion. We celebrate the collective achievements of a team rich in expertise, experiences, and perspectives, and welcome applications from individuals of diverse ethnicities, religions, backgrounds, genders, sexual orientations, gender identities, aboriginal statuses, various age groups, and those with disabilities.
