Field Inspector Apprenticeship Program
Field inspectors are the newest addition to the Local 150
Operating Engineers Union. The role of a field inspector is multifaceted and
exciting. Inspectors are involved from the very beginning of a job to the
absolute end when they sign off the project. Inspectors are entrusted with the
responsibility to ensure that all the building material and production are in
accordance with the design of the engineers. During the course of an average
workday the inspector may perform such tasks as soil, concrete, steel, and
asphalt inspections along with many other areas.
Education and technology are key factors in our industry. Inspectors are at the cutting
edge of both those fields having over twenty certifications and using state of
the art technologies such as ultrasonics, radiography, and ground penetrating
radar. At the Local 150 Apprenticeship inspectors are instructed and trained to ensure that
proper materials and quality workmanship are being utilized on today’s jobsites for the betterment
of eveyone.
