CEI & Inspection Recruiter
Memphis, TN
TDOT's I-55 Mississippi River bridge rehabilitation and the massive site infrastructure for the Memphis Regional Megasite give this market both legacy-bridge and greenfield-industrial CEI work.
Specialized staffing for Memphis field inspection
Metro Associates runs a dedicated CEI search practice across Memphis and the Mid-South, connecting firms with certified inspectors, resident engineers, and QA/QC specialists reviewed under TDOT Region 4.
Locally, that has included work like i-55 mississippi river bridge inspection. We match certification-verified talent to the field, safety, and documentation demands of that kind of construction program.
2026 MemphisCEI & inspection hiring
Heading into 2026, Memphis's market is shaped by federally funded highway and bridge programs and a shortage of certification-verified field staff. NICET- and NBIS-certified inspectors who can deliver on schedule-critical DOT programs remain in short supply.
Pay for these roles moves with local cost of labor and project mix, so we publish ranges nationally rather than implying a Memphis-specific figure we have not measured. See the national CEI & inspection compensation ranges, or ask us what we are seeing in Memphis right now.
