Construction / Bridge Inspector Engineer – Entry/Junior Level
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones.
We need to extract substantive content: About Moffatt & Nichol (company description) maybe "About the role"? The posting includes "About Moffatt & Nichol" describing firm. Also "Duties And Responsibilities" with details. Also "Qualifications". Also "Working Conditions" maybe not needed but could be part of responsibilities? There's "Base Salary Range" and "Moffatt & Nichol’s Employment Benefits". Also "Availability and willingness to travel". Also "Must be available for hire no later than the end of November 2026". Also "Physical Requirements". Also "Working Conditions". Also "Other Duties" note about not comprehensive.
We need to decide sections: Could have About the role (maybe combine company overview and role description). Responsibilities (duties). Qualifications (education, experience, certifications). Benefits (list). Pay (salary range). Schedule (maybe work schedule: 5 days per week Monday-Friday with occasional evenings/weekends, field hours project specific, occasional overnight, travel). Also maybe "Working Conditions" could be part of schedule? But schedule section is for schedule specifics.
We must not create sections with placeholder text. All sections we include must have real content.
We need to remove boilerplate: EEO statement, application instructions, etc. Also remove duplicated lines.
We need to preserve all substantive info. Let's extract.
First, company description: "Moffatt & Nichol specializes in large complex waterfront infrastructure projects and is recognized as one of the worldwide leaders in this field. Our Norfolk, VA office is seeking a Construction Inspector / Bridge Inspector with 1 to 2 years of heavy construction experience and / or inspection oversight on transportation related projects including but not limited to bridges, culverts, and roadways. The successful Inspector will be a degreed Civil Engineer and will be available for hire no later than the end of November 2026. As an Inspector you will be working with a professional construction / engineering inspection team that provides consulting services to clients Federal (DoD), State (VDOT), municipal and private clients around the Hampton Roads area. This offer helps to expand our services and enhance our deep client relationships across the Hampton Roads area. We are looking for an individual who has a strong foundation in construction principles, has strong inspection and report writing skills and can assist as an NBIS bridge inspector (or ability and willingness to become) certification when construction oversight is light."
Then "About Moffatt & Nichol" paragraph: details about firm ranking etc.
Then "Duties And Responsibilities" with bullet-like sentences.
Then "Other Duties Please note this job posting is not designed to cover or contain a comprehensive listing of activities, duties or responsibilities that are required of the employee for this job. Duties, responsibilities and activities may change at any time with or without notice." This is a note; we could include as a short p under Responsibilities maybe.
Then "Qualifications" list.
Then "Working Conditions" paragraph.
Then "Physical Requirements" paragraph.
Then "Base Salary Range $31.00 to $43.00 per hour based on years of experience, level of education obtained, professional registration, and meeting the required qualifications in the job description. Base salary range only applicable for candidates who will be hired and working in the Virginia market."
Then "Moffatt & Nichol’s Employment Benefits" with bullet list.
Also "Availability and willingness to work in the field 5 days per week Monday - Friday with occasional evenings and weekends. Field hours are project specific and may occasionally require overnight construction inspection as deemed necessary by the projectAvailability and willingness to travel as required. Overnight travel is not expected but may be necessary on a limited basis"
Also "Must be available for hire no later than the end of November 2026; sooner is preferred"
Also "Selected candidate must consent to and pass a post-offer/pre-employment drug screeningAll new hires will be required to successfully complete and pass a pre-employment (post offer) background check in compliance with NIST 800-171Moffatt & Nichol uses E-Verify and employment is contingent upon the legal ability to obtain employment in the U.S. and to present the required documentation at hire"
We need to decide sections: maybe "About the role" (company overview + role description), "Responsibilities", "Qualifications", "Benefits", "Pay", "Schedule". Also maybe "Working Conditions" could be part of Schedule or separate but we have schedule already.
We must avoid thin sections: ensure each has substantive content.
Let's craft.
Section About the role: combine first paragraph and About Moffatt & Nichol description. Could be two paragraphs.
Section Responsibilities: list duties from Duties And Responsibilities plus note about other duties.
We need to convert duties into
- . The duties are long sentences; we can split into list items each covering a duty.
Let's extract duties:
- Performs inspection of bridges, transportation structures and other structures during construction to evaluate contractor’s method, workmanship, quality and compliance with construction documents (drawings and specifications).
- Inspector will evaluate construction materials for quality and compliance with Contract Documents and perform related work such as data collection, report writing and record keeping.
- Recognizes basic construction or engineering problems, coordinates problems with the engineer of record; makes field measurements of pay items; checks equipment; maintains comprehensive project records including daily diaries, materials notebooks, as-built plans, pay quantity records, progress schedules, work orders, and monthly estimates.
- Frequent external contact with: contractor personnel to schedule and coordinate project inspection, resolve problems and monitor receipt of materials; local government to explain work under construction.

- Performs checker review of bridge inspection reports by others.
- Works collaboratively with members of all company disciplines.
- Assists with various project elements including planning, execution and follow-up.
- Performs other duties as required.
Also note about other duties not comprehensive.
We'll include that note as a
after list.
Section Qualifications: list items.
Extract qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Engineering or related.
- Minimum of an Engineer in Training (EIT) required.
- Transportation related construction inspection experience in the United States.
- 1 to 4 years of heavy construction experience and/or inspection oversight on transportation related projects. Desired experience includes: bridges, culverts, and/or roadways.
- Minimum 1+ years of experience serving as a NBIS Inspector strongly preferred; desired bridge inspection certifications: NHI Certification (NHI-130055) and Refresher (NHI-130053), if applicable.
- Inspection experience utilizing special equipment such as snooper/bucket trucks, boats, scaffolding, etc. preferred.
- Ability to read and interpret construction plans, specifications and standards.
- Boater Safety Card preferred.

- Ability and willingness to work in the field 5 days per week Monday - Friday with occasional evenings and weekends. Field hours are project specific and may occasionally require overnight construction inspection as deemed necessary by the project.
- Availability and willingness to travel as required. Overnight travel is not expected but may be necessary on a limited basis.
- Must be available for hire no later than the end of November 2026; sooner is preferred.
- Selected candidate must consent to and pass a post-offer/pre-employment drug screening.
- All new hires will be required to successfully complete and pass a pre-employment (post offer) background check in compliance with NIST 800-171.
- Moffatt & Nichol uses E-Verify and employment is contingent upon the legal ability to obtain employment in the U.S. and to present the required documentation at hire.
We might separate some of these into schedule/availability but they are qualifications.
But we also have schedule section: we could pull out schedule details: "Ability and willingness to work in the field 5 days per week Monday - Friday with occasional evenings and weekends. Field hours are project specific and may occasionally require overnight construction inspection as deemed necessary by the project. Availability and willingness to travel as required. Overnight travel is not expected but may be necessary on a limited basis. Must be available for hire no later than the end of November 2026; sooner is preferred."
We could put that in Schedule section.
But we also have Pay section: base salary range.
Benefits section: list benefits.
We need to avoid duplication: if we put schedule details in Schedule section, we should not repeat them in Qualifications. However Qualifications also contain many items; we could keep them but maybe move schedule-specific items to Schedule and keep rest in Qualifications.
Let's decide: Qualifications: education, EIT, experience, NBIS, certifications, equipment, ability to read plans, Boater Safety Card, driver's license.
Schedule: work schedule, travel, availability date.
Pay: salary range.
Benefits: list.
Now we need to ensure we don't create sections with placeholder text. All have content.
Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no /, no markdown.
We'll produce:
