The position analyzed in this paper is a construction control inspector working for the U.S. Department of Agriculture in the Natural Resources Conservation Service. Based on the provided job diary, it is evident that this position fulfills a variety of supervisory and inspection roles. Job duties include working with contractors on project development and construction through quality control. This includes closely following construction schedules, examining engineering schematics, and gathering data to be used in surveys. An inspector works collaboratively with the contractor crew to examine the geology of the site and design specifications of the project. A control inspector closely reviews measured data (such as density and moisture in a foundation) and ensures that all regulations are followed. Cooperation with the foreman is required to correct any construction deficiencies which may violate regulations or design specifications. The job position requires the enforcement of safety at the site, which may include personnel management and problem resolution. It may be necessary to cooperate with the superintendent, third-party contractors, and one’s immediate supervisor to report and find viable solutions to safety concerns and regulation violations. The job includes several administrative duties including filing reports and making daily records of measurements and quantity of work accomplished.

The description is detailed and does not need to be rewritten. It would be helpful to include logistical information such as shift scheduling. Also, the description does not contain the job family or pay grade of the position which may be of interest to applicants.
