全国平均工资：每小时$ 24.17
主要职责：建筑和建筑检查员检查建筑物，街道和公路，供水和下水道系统，桥梁，水坝和其他建筑物的结构质量和整体安全性。他们还检查管道系统和电气系统，包括供暖，通风，空调和制冷（HVACR）。
虽然没有两次检查是相同的，但是建筑和建筑检查员会在施工过程的第一阶段进行初步检查。然后，他们将在整个建设项目中进行后续检查。项目完成后，他们将进行最终彻底检查，并提供与其发现相关的口头或书面反馈。
要求：建筑和建筑检查员至少需要具有高中文凭或同等学历才能被考虑就业。但是，许多雇主更喜欢在工程，建筑，建筑技术或建筑检查方面具有大学水平经验的应聘者。许多州还对检查员进行职业培训之前必须满足的认证要求。
有抱负的建筑和建筑检查员可以通过国际法规理事会（ICC）获得认证。要获得这些认证，候选人必须通过涵盖建筑规范，特征和程序的考试。他们将需要满足继续教育的要求，以保持其资格。
National average salary: $24.17 per hour
Primary duties: Construction and building inspectors examine the structural quality and overall safety of buildings, streets and highways, water and sewer systems, bridges, dams and other structures. They also check plumbing systems and electrical systems, including heating, ventilation, air-conditioning and refrigeration (HVACR).
While no two inspections are alike, construction and building inspectors conduct a preliminary inspection during the first phase of the construction process. They will then conduct follow-up inspections throughout the construction project. When the project is complete, they do a final thorough inspection and provide oral or written feedback related to their findings.
Requirements: Construction and building inspectors need at least a high school diploma or its equivalent to be considered for employment. However, many employers prefer candidates with college-level experience in engineering, architecture, construction technology or building inspection. Many states also have certification requirements that inspectors must meet before they can practice their profession.
Aspiring construction and building inspectors may earn certifications through the International Code Council (ICC). To obtain these certifications, candidates are required to pass an examination that covers building codes, features and procedures. They will need to meet continuing education requirements to keep their credentials.
