Parsons Corporation · Redding, CA · 1 mo ago
Management$15.68–$71.3/hrFull-time
We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes a paragraph about Parsons, then Job Description. We need headings for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content.
We need to parse content:
- About the role: The initial paragraph describing Parsons and the role: "In a world of possibilities... Imagine Next! At Parsons, you can imagine a career where you thrive, work with exceptional people, and be yourself. Guided by our leadership vision... As Lead Inspector, you will direct the project’s inspection staff..." That could be considered About the role. We'll include . The responsibilities list:
- Lead, schedule, and mentor the inspection team across multiple concurrent work fronts, including night and off-hours work as construction activity requires.
- Observe and document whether the work conforms to the contract documents, approved submittals, and applicable permit conditions.
- Prepare and oversee daily construction reports covering activities, equipment and personnel onsite, observation hours, weather, and measured progress.
- Maintain a labeled, indexed photographic record of daily activities, and perform preconstruction documentation of existing streets, driveways, sidewalks, and landscaping that may be affected by construction.
- Prepare reports of deviations and non-conforming work, coordinate resolution with the contractor, and escalate unresolved issues to the Resident Engineer.
- Monitor contractor compliance with federal, state, and local safety requirements, including OSHA and trenching and excavation regulations.
- Support RFI responses, submittal reviews, and constructability input based on direct field observation, and coordinate with the owner’s geotechnical consultant for materials testing and deputy inspection.
- Verify installed quantities and measured progress to support monthly payment applications and change order evaluation.
- Support startup, commissioning, functional testing, and performance testing, and develop and close out punch lists through project completion.
- Coordinate daily with the owner, contractor, utilities, public lands and regulatory agencies, and adjacent stakeholders to anticipate conflicts and protect public access and operations.
- Maintain all inspection documentation within the project’s electronic document management system (Procore).
We'll put each as .
- Requirements: The posting has "Required Qualifications" and also "Preferred Qualifications". We need sections: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills? The instructions: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide which content goes where.
We have Required Qualifications (education, experience, certifications). That could go under Requirements or Qualifications. We also have Preferred Qualifications (additional certifications). Could go under Qualifications as well. Skills: maybe we can extract skills like "Effective organizational, communication, and interpersonal skills, with the judgment to know when to resolve an issue in the field and when to elevate it." Also "Proficiency with electronic construction management platforms (Procore preferred), Bluebeam, and Microsoft Office." Also "Valid California driver’s license; must provide own transportation..." Also "Ability to traverse active construction sites..." etc. Those could go under Skills.
Benefits: The posting mentions "We value our employees and want our employees to take care of their overall wellbeing, which is why we offer best-in-class benefits such as medical, dental, vision, paid time off, Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), 401(k), life insurance, flexible work schedules, and holidays to fit your busy lifestyle!" That's benefits.
Pay: There's "Salary Range: $15.68 - $71.30". That's pay.
Schedule: Not explicitly mentioned. No schedule info. So we should not include Schedule section.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, fraud warning, etc.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
We need to ensure we don't include placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to ensure we include sections only when posting has real specific content.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay.
We need to decide where to put Required Qualifications vs Preferred Qualifications. Could combine under Requirements (maybe split into Required and Preferred). But headings only allow Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. Could put Required Qualifications under Requirements, Preferred Qualifications under Qualifications, and skills under Skills.
Let's extract:
Required Qualifications:
- Associate's Degree in a technical discipline or construction-related field, or a high school diploma and equivalent work experience, is required.
- Also requires 10+ years of related experience on field projects, as well as formal certification from an independent organization, depending on type of inspection assignment.
- Some knowledge of public works contracts may be preferred.
- Construction safety training including CalOSHA 10 hour training and Parsons SHARP training.
- 10+ years of construction inspection experience on public works projects, including at least 5 years inspecting water, wastewater, or advanced water treatment facilities.
- Demonstrated experience as a lead or chief inspector directing other inspectors on a project exceeding $100 million in construction value.
- Working knowledge of process mechanical construction — pumps, valves, high-pressure piping, membrane treatment equipment, and chemical feed systems — as well as cast-in-place concrete, structural steel, yard piping, and underground conveyance.
- Familiarity with alternative project delivery (design-build, progressive design-build, or CMAR) and the inspector’s role in an owner’s representative capacity.
- Proven ability to produce clear, defensible daily reports and non-conformance documentation that will withstand claims and audit scrutiny.
- Experience working under prevailing wage and Project Labor Agreement requirements, and on state- or federally funded projects.
- Proficiency with electronic construction management platforms (Procore preferred), Bluebeam, and Microsoft Office.
- Effective organizational, communication, and interpersonal skills, with the judgment to know when to resolve an issue in the field and when to elevate it.
- Valid California driver’s license; must provide own transportation to and from the job site.
- Ability to traverse active construction sites, including confined spaces, excavations, and elevated work areas, and to lift up to 50 pounds.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Degree or certificate in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
- ICC certifications (Reinforced Concrete, Structural Welding, Soils, or Commercial Building Inspector) and/or NICET certification in Construction Materials Testing.
- Certified Public Infrastructure Inspector (CPII)
- Certified Construction Manager (CCM), Associate Constructor (AC), or DBIA certification.
- OSHA 30-Hour Construction certification and current first aid/CPR.
- Prior inspection experience on membrane treatment, potable reuse, or desalination facilities.
- Experience with well drilling, development, and wellhead construction.
- Prior experience on coastal projects or projects on public lands with associated permit conditions.
Skills: Some of the above could be considered skills, but we already have many under Required Qualifications. However we need a Skills section; we can extract skills like "Effective organizational, communication, and interpersonal skills", "Proficiency with electronic construction management platforms (Procore preferred), Bluebeam, and Microsoft Office", "Ability to traverse active construction sites...", "Valid California driver’s license". But those are already in Required Qualifications. To avoid duplication, we could move some to Skills and keep Requirements for education/experience. But we must preserve all substantive information; we can split but ensure no duplication. Let's think: The instructions: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). They didn't forbid overlapping content across sections, but we should avoid duplication? Not explicitly forbidden, but better to organize logically.
We could put:
- Requirements: Education, experience, certifications (the core mandatory items).
- Qualifications: Preferred qualifications (nice-to-have).
- Skills: Specific abilities like organizational/communication, proficiency with software, physical ability, driver's license.
But we need to ensure we don't lose any info.
Let's list Required Qualifications items that are mandatory:
- Associate's Degree in a technical discipline or construction-related field, or a high school diploma and equivalent work experience, is required.
- 10+ years of related experience on field projects, as well as formal certification from an independent organization, depending on type of inspection assignment.
- Some knowledge of public works contracts may be preferred. (This is "may be preferred" - maybe not mandatory; but it's in Required Qualifications section.)
- Construction safety training including CalOSHA 10 hour training and Parsons SHARP training.
- 10+ years of construction inspection experience on public works projects, including at least 5 years inspecting water, wastewater, or advanced water treatment facilities.
- Demonstrated experience as a lead or chief inspector directing other inspectors on a project exceeding $100 million in construction value.
- Working knowledge of process mechanical construction — pumps, valves, high-pressure piping, membrane treatment equipment, and chemical feed systems — as well as cast-in-place concrete, structural steel, yard piping, and underground conveyance.
- Familiarity with alternative project delivery (design-build, progressive design-build, or CMAR) and the inspector’s role in an owner’s representative capacity.
- Proven ability to produce clear, defensible daily reports and non-conformance documentation that will withstand claims and audit scrutiny.
- Experience working under prevailing wage and Project Labor Agreement requirements, and on state- or federally funded projects.
- Proficiency with electronic construction management platforms (Procore preferred), Bluebeam, and Microsoft Office.
- Effective organizational, communication, and interpersonal skills, with the judgment to know when to resolve an issue in the field and when to elevate it.
- Valid California driver’s license; must provide own transportation to and from the job site.
- Ability to traverse active construction sites, including confined spaces, excavations, and elevated work areas, and to lift up to 50 pounds.
Preferred Qualifications items as listed.
Skills: Could be things like "Effective organizational, communication, and interpersonal skills", "Proficiency with electronic construction management platforms (Procore preferred), Bluebeam, and Microsoft Office", "Ability to traverse active construction sites...", "Valid California driver’s license". But those are already in Required Qualifications. To avoid duplication, maybe we put those under Skills and keep Requirements more about education/experience/certifications. But then we would lose some items from Requirements if we move them. However we could keep them in both places? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; duplication is not prohibited but might be considered redundant. Safer to keep each piece only once. Let's decide to categorize:
- Requirements: Education, experience, certifications (the baseline).
- Qualifications: Preferred qualifications (additional certifications/experience).
- Skills: Specific abilities like organizational/communication, software proficiency, physical ability, driver's license.
Thus we need to parse Required Qualifications into those categories.
Let's extract education/experience/certifications:
Education/Experience:
- Associate's Degree in a technical discipline or construction-related field, or a high school diploma and equivalent work experience, is required.
- 10+ years of related experience on field projects, as well as formal certification from an independent organization, depending on type of inspection assignment.
- Some knowledge of public works contracts may be preferred. (maybe keep under Requirements as note)
- Construction safety training including CalOSHA 10 hour training and Parsons SHARP training.
- 10+ years of construction inspection experience on public works projects, including at least 5 years inspecting water, wastewater, or advanced water treatment facilities.
- Demonstrated experience as a lead or chief inspector directing other inspectors on a project exceeding $100 million in construction value.
- Working knowledge of process mechanical construction — pumps, valves, high-pressure piping, membrane treatment equipment, and chemical
