Working Conditions: A minor portion of the work is performed in an office setting. Most of the work is performed outdoors with recurring exposure to construction hazards and extreme temperatures. Work environment is a function of project scope and location. Inspection is completed on-site and may
require travel between 50 and 85 percent of the time. The type of travel is also a function of scope and location. Work may be performed anywhere in the 17 western states covered by Reclamation.
