Job Description

At Atlas, we're providing services that enable communities to flourish and thrive — and if you're a Special Inspector ready to launch a hands-on career in construction inspection and committed to doing meaningful work, then this is your moment. This is an entry-level trainee role: you'll learn to test and inspect the materials that hold up buildings, roads, and major infrastructure across the Boise area, supporting high-profile work like the Micron Triton project and new projects breaking ground in 2026. We'll invest in your training and certifications from day one. Join a dynamic, value-driven, client- and community-focused environment where your work helps keep our communities safe and built to last.

Core Responsibilities

• Perform field and lab inspection and testing of construction materials — including rebar, epoxy, concrete, masonry, and asphalt — and obtain representative samples in line with project specifications.
• Review project plans and specifications to confirm work meets requirements.
• Prepare accurate test reports and a daily diary before leaving the jobsite, and keep clear records of time, supplies, training hours, timecards, and expenses.
• Complete all required safety reporting and keep assigned gear clean, calibrated, and operable.
• Support project teams across Boise, Pocatello, Idaho Falls, and surrounding areas, with availability for weekend, early-morning, or late-evening shifts as projects require.
• Communicate professionally and courteously with the public, contractors, and team members, returning calls and emails promptly

• General computer skills (Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint), basic math and writing skills, and the ability to read and follow procedures (foundational knowledge of construction materials testing is a plus).
