What is the difference between Stormwater Inspection vs Environmental Technician?

AspectStormwater InspectionEnvironmental Technician
CertificationsStormwater Pollution Prevention (SWPP), OSHA safetyEnvironmental certifications, OSHA safety
Work EnvironmentConstruction sites, industrial facilities, municipal areasLaboratories, field sites, environmental agencies
Job FocusMonitoring stormwater runoff, compliance inspectionsEnvironmental sampling, data collection, analysis

Stormwater Inspectors primarily focus on monitoring and inspecting stormwater runoff to ensure compliance with regulations, often working outdoors at construction or industrial sites. Environmental Technicians perform broader environmental sampling and analysis, working in labs or field environments. While both roles require safety certifications and environmental knowledge, Stormwater Inspectors specialize in stormwater-specific regulations, making their roles distinct yet related within environmental compliance.

What is stormwater inspection?

Stormwater inspection is the process of examining sites, facilities, or infrastructure to ensure compliance with regulations designed to prevent pollution from stormwater runoff. Inspectors check for proper management practices, such as erosion controls, pollution prevention measures, and maintenance of stormwater systems like drains and retention ponds. These inspections help protect local waterways from contamination caused by construction, industrial activities, or improper disposal of waste. Inspections may be required by local, state, or federal agencies, and are crucial for maintaining environmental health and safety.

Your Role: Bringing QSD Expertise to the Field

As a Stormwater Inspector, you will:
Apply QSD-level expertise to ensure stormwater compliance across construction, municipal, and wildfire restoration projects.
Conduct field inspections and implement stormwater BMPs per NPDES permits, SWPPPs, and MS4 stormwater programs.
Develop and refine SWPPP plans for projects in environmentally sensitive and post-wildfire areas.
Guide project teams on regulatory compliance, proactively identifying risks and implementing corrective actions.
Prepare expert-level inspection reports and communicate findings with clients, contractors, and regulatory agencies.
Collaborate with regulatory bodies (Regional Water Quality Control Board, CA Dept. of Fish and Wildlife, Corps of Engineers, NOAA Fisheries) to maintain high compliance standards.

This is a full-time, field-based position requiring daily travel to project sites or offices.


What You Bring: QSD-Certified Excellence

QSD certification strongly preferred (QSP required). Experience with MS4 stormwater programs and post-wildfire restoration is a major plus!

Familiarity with California Stormwater permits and regulation and ability to work on site in Southern California up to 5 days a week.

5-10 years of experience in Environmental Engineering, Environmental Science, or Construction Management.
Deep understanding of stormwater regulations, NPDES permits, and erosion control strategies.
Proven ability to develop, implement, and monitor SWPPP plans for complex, environmentally sensitive projects.
Strong problem-solving and communication skills, with experience working in collaborative, multidisciplinary teams.


Why Join Keish Environmental?

Protect communities and ecosystems through sustainable stormwater solutions.
Apply your expertise to wildfire restoration efforts, ensuring compliance and resilience in post-fire landscapes.
Advance your career in an expert-driven, QSD-focused environment that values technical excellence and leadership.
