Description
Summary:	Transportation construction inspectors (CIs) have specific expertise in areas such as earthwork, structures and pavement. CIs apply this expertise to ensure that construction work meets or exceeds the construction contract requirements. State departments of transportation are facing attrition in the CI workforce and losses in institutional knowledge among CIs as a result of retirements, agency downsizing and fewer individuals pursuing construction inspection. The number of candidate CIs is projected to be inadequate to meet current and future needs. This report describes approaches that state DOTs can use to build and sustain a construction inspection workforce.
