CI Staffing & Resource Coordinator

A dedicated resource manager who tracks every inspector, identifies vacancies, coordinates recruiting, submits resumes, follows up with NYSDOT, and manages mobilization schedules.

Director of Construction Inspection Operations & Resource Management

Reports directly to President & CEO

Primary mission: Restore NYSDOT client confidence, maximize contract utilization, and establish a dependable staffing pipeline for 2027.

Core responsibilities

• Direct staffing for all CI/REI contracts, including prime and subconsultant assignments.
  
• Forecast headcount by contract, region, grade, and mobilization date.
  
• Recruit and deploy inspectors, office engineers, chief inspectors, and resident engineers.
  
• Verify MURK 1D qualifications, NICET equivalencies, certifications, and availability before submission.
  
• Manage NYSDOT resource managers, EICs, subconsultants, and field staff.
  
• Track contract utilization, unfilled positions, revenue at risk, and staffing performance.
  
• Oversee personnel mobilization, timesheet compliance, and coordination with billing.
  

The distinction is important: A traditional project manager manages assigned projects. You need an operations leader who manages staffing and performance across your entire CI contract portfolio.

I would consider candidates with titles such as Construction Inspection Director, Regional Construction Manager, Director of Construction Services, or Senior Resident Engineer with substantial multi-project management experience.

A former NYSDOT construction supervisor or experienced consultant-side CI executive could be a strong candidate, provided they understand consulting firm economics and can actively recruit.
