Employment of construction and building inspectors is projected to grow 7 percent from 2018 to 2028, faster than the average for all careers, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. Demand will be strongest in government and in firms specializing in architectural, engineering, and related services. In the wake of several high-profile construction accidents, the public has become more concerned with the safety of buildings and other structures that are under construction, which is fueling demand for inspectors.
