About This Position
We are looking for a U.S.-based Subject Matter Expert (SME) in Highway/ Civil Construction Inspection for a Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP) project of one of our USA-based clients.
Project Context:
The Client is developing an approximately 7-module / 7-hour intermediate-level online Civil Inspector Level II course for professionals involved in highway/construction inspection.
The SME will work alongside our instructional design and learning development team. This is not a pure content-review role. The SME will be expected to contribute to the development and authoring of the technical content and may also support technical instruction, narration and recorded presentations.
Ideal SME Profile:
We are looking for a practitioner with substantial hands-on experience in:
Highway/roadway construction inspection
Civil construction inspection
Transportation infrastructure projects
Construction management/field inspection
Highway maintenance
Public-sector construction projects
The individual should ideally have 10+ years of relevant experience, although the quality and relevance of experience are more important than an exact number of years.
Required Technical Experience:
The SME should have strong working knowledge of:
Highway construction practices and methods
Construction inspection processes
Construction plans and specifications
Project/contract documentation
Construction progress tracking
Quality control/quality assurance
Field inspection and reporting
Highway maintenance practices
Inspector roles and responsibilities
Working with contractors and public-agency project teams
Experience working on projects for state DOTs, counties, municipalities or other public-sector transportation agencies is highly desirable.
Key Responsibilities:
The SME will work with our instructional design team to:
Help define and validate the Civil Inspector Level II curriculum
Identify appropriate intermediate-level inspection topics
Develop and author technical course content
Provide practical field examples, scenarios and case situations
Validate technical accuracy of instructional materials
Contribute to technical instruction and presentations
Potentially provide narration and/or recorded video instruction
Review and validate videos, graphics, knowledge checks and other learning activities
Participate in structured review cycles with the instructional design team and client stakeholders
The SME should therefore be comfortable explaining technical concepts to adult learners, not just performing the work themselves.
Preferred Background:
Candidates with any of the following would be particularly valuable:
Senior Highway Construction Inspector
Senior Civil Construction Inspector
Transportation Construction Engineer
Construction Manager
Resident Engineer
Senior/Lead Inspector
Highway/Transportation Project Manager with significant inspection responsibility
Experience training, mentoring or supervising inspectors is strongly preferred.
Experience delivering technical workshops, toolbox talks, professional training or presentations would also be valuable.
Important: Instructional Design Experience Is NOT Required
We do not expect the SME to be an instructional designer or e-learning developer. Our team will provide the instructional design, learning architecture, multimedia development, accessibility and course-production expertise.
Pay: $50.00 per hour
Work Location: Remote
