I basically worked as a materials inspector for a transportation project. I spent the first month studying and testing for something called WAQTC, which is a certification for transportation materials inspection used throughout the west coast. It lets you test aggregates, asphalt, concrete, and dirt (embankment and in-place density). At the same time, my boss had me do tons of aggregate testing and picking up samples at a shipping center, so I ended up having to study outside of work. FYI, both of these require tons of heavy lifting, as the samples are very heavy.

Once I got to the project, I actually spent most of my time reporting on what construction workers were doing and taking tickets from dump trucks (they show how much dirt was hauled at a time). Doing actual testing was pretty rare. This job was incredibly boring, as I was just watching all day from my car. You do get to know how construction projects work though, as you must verify whether every worker is doing exactly what they're supposed to do.
