Dylon Moss, PE

Dylon Moss, PE, is an engineer and NBIS bridge inspection team leader with 11 years of experience in structural inspection. He is licensed in 11 states, is an ADCI surface-supplied diving supervisor, holds SPRAT Level I and is an FAA Part 107 remote pilot. He has inspected more than 1,500 structures across 13 states and Ontario, Canada, and specializes in steel pile structures, with deep experience in steel, concrete and timber. Dylon has worked as inspector, team leader, project manager for Idaho, QC manager and supervisor, and in Ontario served as inspector, dive supervisor and safety officer. He has helped develop a timber inspection program and helped shape how a state DOT approaches underwater inspection. He is known for thorough work and close attention to detail, and his scour work shows it: on a bridge in Idaho over the Snake River, he followed a cave in the cliff face into a cavern where exposed piles had never been documented. He has trained about five inspectors in field technique, diving and report writing. As co-founder of PES, he leads inspections, quality and the development of the firm's underwater program.

Dylon grew up in Laramie, Wyoming, with family roots in Montana and Colorado. He moved to Idaho right after college and spent most of the next seven years inspecting bridges there before relocating to Montana. Outside of work, he spends his time whitewater rafting, skiing, biking and hiking with his wife and their two dogs, a border collie and a heeler. Dylon says people are always surprised to learn he's a bridge inspector, since most don't know bridge inspections happen at all.

"Ever since I was a kid, I've been fascinated with bridges and dams. I'm lucky enough to have a career inspecting them."
