Reno, NV | Full-Time, Hourly (Non-Exempt) | $30 – $38/hour by cert level + OT at time-and-a-half
The Opportunity
This is not a beginner posting. Our client — a well-established, Reno-based consulting engineering firm providing special inspection and construction materials testing across Northern Nevada — is hiring NAQTC-certified Special Inspectors who know their way around an active site and want the hours. With 5–6 day weeks and mandatory overtime at time-and-a-half, the paychecks stack up fast — and adding your ACI cert bumps you into the higher pay tier immediately.
The Money Talks
- $30–$34/hour with NAQTC certification
- $34–$38/hour with NAQTC + ACI — the ACI cert literally pays for itself
- OT at 1.5x over 40 — and OT is guaranteed
- They fund your growth: Reimbursements, bonuses, and raises for continued certifications
What You'll Do
- Perform special inspections and construction materials testing for code compliance
- Write clear, accurate daily field reports
- Sample and transport construction materials
- Coordinate on job sites and communicate directly with clients and contractors
What You'll Bring
- NAQTC certification (required)
- ACI certification strongly preferred — qualifies you for the higher tier
- 2+ years of inspection experience working under your certs
- Ability to work outdoors in all conditions on active sites
- Availability for night pours and weekends as projects require
- Team-player attitude, strong communication, and reliability the crew can count on
Schedule reality check: 5–6 days per week with mandatory overtime — built for inspectors who want maximum hours and maximum earnings.
