The Airport Design & Construction Department is seeking a detail-oriented and experienced individual for the role of Senior Construction Inspector (Overnight Shift) . This position plays a critical role in ensuring the operational success of multi-million-dollar construction and tenant improvement projects across the airport campus.

Each assignment offers a front-row seat to the transformation of one of San Diego’s most visible public spaces, from groundbreaking to opening.

The ideal candidate brings a strong background in mechanical, electrical, and civil inspections, along with the ability to read and interpret construction plans, ensure code compliance, and document progress with precision.
