  • Direct and coordinate Assistant Team Leaders, inspection personnel, traffic control operations, access equipment, and other field resources.
  • Perform detailed visual, hands-on, and sounding inspections of bridge components, including decks, superstructures, substructures, culverts, bearings, joints, railings, and ancillary elements.
  • Evaluate structural conditions, assign appropriate condition ratings, and identify deterioration, safety concerns, and maintenance or repair needs.
  • Recognize conditions requiring immediate reporting, further evaluation, load posting consideration, or prompt corrective action.
  • Prepare, review, and approve inspection documentation, photographs, field notes, sketches, measurements, and electronic inspection records.
  • Complete inspection reports accurately and within required project schedules.
  • Enter, review, and manage inspection information using NYSDOT-required bridge inspection and asset management systems.
  • Review available bridge plans, previous inspection reports, load ratings, repair records, and other background information before field inspection.
  • Coordinate inspection activities with NYSDOT personnel, project managers, equipment providers, traffic control personnel, railroads, municipalities, and other stakeholders.
  • Participate in inspection planning, scheduling, staffing, and resource allocation.
  • Assist with preparation of inspection work plans, access plans, traffic control needs, cost estimates, scopes of work, and fee proposals.
  • Provide technical guidance and on-the-job mentoring and training to Assistant Team Leaders and developing inspection staff.
  • Support Prudent’s quality assurance and quality control procedures and maintain compliance with company, client, OSHA, and project-specific safety requirements.
  • Support special, emergency, element-level, culvert, municipal, or private bridge inspections, as assigned.
  • Assist with bridge load rating, structural evaluation, or bridge design assignments when qualified and workload permits.

Required Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, or a closely related engineering discipline from an accredited institution.

  • Minimum three (3) years bridge inspection, bridge design or bridge construction experience or equivalent combination with minimum 3 months field work experience
  • Familiarity with NYSDOT EAM/BDIS inspection reporting; AASHTOWare BrR load rating experience is a plus
  • Successful completion of the applicable National Highway Institute bridge inspection course, including NHI Safety Inspection of In-Service Bridges or its current NYSDOT-accepted equivalent.
  • Experience and qualifications sufficient to receive and maintain NYSDOT approval as a Bridge Inspection Team Leader.

  • Working knowledge of bridge behavior, deterioration mechanisms, common bridge defects, and bridge maintenance and repair practices.
  • Ability to prepare clear, technically accurate inspection reports and defensible condition assessments.
  • Ability to interpret bridge plans, inspection reports, load rating information, repair details, and construction records.
  • Strong written, verbal, organizational, and interpersonal communication skills.
  • Ability to lead field personnel and coordinate effectively with clients, contractors, equipment operators, and agency representatives.
