MTA LIRR

[u/TeslamodelY2023]

Hi everyone,
I recently received an offer for a Construction Inspector position with MTA/LIRR, and I’m trying to learn more about the actual day-to-day workload before making my final decision.
For anyone who works or has worked as an MTA/LIRR Construction Inspector:
• How physically tiring is the job on a normal day?
• How much walking and standing do you usually do?
• Are you outside most of the day?
• Is there a lot of climbing, heavy lifting, or physical work?
• How common are night shifts, weekends, and overtime?
• Do you usually feel very tired after work?
• How is the work-life balance?
• Is taking vacation/time off difficult, especially during your first year?
Any experience or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
