CHA Consulting, Inc. is currently seeking a Resident Engineer to join our Construction Inspection Team at a client site in Orange County, NY from May 1st – Labor Day.

YOUR IMPACT

CHA provides a full complement of construction administration and inspection services to monitor, record and deliver projects. Our team includes seasoned certified construction professionals cross-trained in design, project and risk management, and health and safety compliance. Cross-training makes our team collaborative, cognizant and confidently pragmatic in understanding design and construction issues.

At CHA, the Resident Engineer is responsible for examining buildings, highways and streets, sewer and water systems, dams, bridges, and other structures. This individual will also inspect electrical, heating, ventilation, air-conditioning, and refrigeration (HVACR), and plumbing systems. The Resident Engineer reviews building codes, local ordinances, and zoning laws, as well as approve blueprints and monitor construction sites. 

This professional is expected to be well versed in all areas of construction inspection. Although no two inspection projects are alike, resident engineers will perform an initial check during the first phase of construction and follow-up inspections throughout the construction project. When the project is finished, they do a final, comprehensive inspection and provide written or oral feedback related to their findings.

At CHA, you can build a career and find your passion across our diverse business lines and project teams. Being part of CHA means being part of a team of talented professionals, where you’ll find support for your career growth and the opportunity to impact our industry and our communities.
