Stormwater Inspector information

What is a stormwater inspector?

Stormwater Inspectors are professionals responsible for monitoring and evaluating stormwater systems to ensure compliance with environmental regulations. They inspect construction sites, public works, and private properties to check for proper erosion and sediment control, and to prevent pollutants from entering waterways. Their work helps protect water quality by ensuring that stormwater runoff is managed effectively and according to local, state, and federal laws. Stormwater Inspectors often work for government agencies, environmental consulting firms, or private companies involved in construction and land development.

What does a stormwater inspector do?

As a stormwater inspector, you conduct preventative maintenance on stormwater facilities. Your responsibilities are to inspect facilities for issues, sample the water, and ensure the facility adheres to all federal compliance codes. Each inspection requires you to fill out a report documenting all of your findings. Other duties of a stormwater inspector include reviewing construction plans, using district software to monitor stormwater conditions, and maintaining positive public relations within your district. You may work on both private and public stormwater facilities, coordinating with your department to perform renovations and preventative maintenance.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a stormwater inspector, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Stormwater Inspector, you need a solid understanding of environmental regulations, stormwater management practices, and inspection procedures, usually supported by a relevant degree or certification. Familiarity with GIS mapping software, inspection reporting systems, and knowledge of local, state, and federal compliance standards is essential. Strong attention to detail, effective communication, and problem-solving skills help inspectors work efficiently with contractors, property owners, and regulatory agencies. These abilities ensure thorough inspections, regulatory compliance, and environmental protection in stormwater management projects.

What are some common challenges faced by stormwater inspectors in the field?

Stormwater Inspectors often face challenges such as varying weather conditions, navigating complex site layouts, and ensuring compliance with evolving local and federal regulations. They must communicate effectively with construction crews, property owners, and municipal officials to address violations and recommend corrective actions. Additionally, balancing multiple site inspections and thorough documentation can be demanding, but these tasks are essential for maintaining environmental standards and public safety.

What is the difference between Stormwater Inspector vs Environmental Technician?

AspectStormwater InspectorEnvironmental Technician
CertificationsStormwater Pollution Prevention (SWPP), OSHA safetyEnvironmental certifications, OSHA safety
Work EnvironmentConstruction sites, industrial facilitiesLaboratories, field sites, offices
Industry UsageConstruction, municipal, industrialEnvironmental consulting, research

Both roles often require environmental safety certifications and involve fieldwork. However, Stormwater Inspectors focus specifically on stormwater compliance at construction sites, while Environmental Technicians have broader environmental testing and analysis duties. The roles are complementary but distinct in scope and responsibilities.

Key responsibilities

  • Conduct routine weekly or monthly site inspections to verify compliance with the SWPPP and document findings.

  • Perform pre-rain, during-rain, and post-storm inspections as required based on weather conditions and site activity.

  • Communicate deficiencies to the construction crew and QSD, and document inspection results with photos and forms.

Job description

A global construction & engineering firm has a need for a Construction Stormwater Inspector to support construction & environmental management systems/projects across California. This position can be located in numerous locations across California. 


A global construction & engineering firm has a need for a Construction Stormwater Inspector to support construction & environmental management systems/projects across California. This position can be located in numerous locations across California.

Responsibilities

  • Depending on the type of site there will either be routine weekly or monthly site inspections needed once the construction starts until the site is stabilized. The duration of the projects can vary from a month or 2 or to many years. When rain is forecasted at 50% or more or at 0.50 inches or more a pre-rain event will need to be completed (this can be coupled with the weekly or monthly inspection) at least 48 hours prior to the forecasted start of the event. If rain occurs during working hours (typical construct working hours are weekdays only during typical day hours, not overnight; however, there is always the possibility that there could be overnight or weekend work, at which then an inspection would need to be completed if it is raining), then an additional inspection will need to be completed every day it is raining during work. Finally, if rain is received then a post-storm inspection needs to be completed within 48 hours of the end of the event.
  • Inspection requirements are for the most part the same for all types of inspections: Visit the site and view all of the work locations, areas of soil disturbance, laydown yards, etc., and verify that all requirements in the SWPPP are being followed. Take lots of pictures, including a picture of the rain gauge. If it has rained be sure to empty out the rain gauge. Inspections will be documented on an inspection form that then needs to be translated into PG&E’s online inspection form. Hard copies of the form should be left in the SWPPP binder which should be onsite with the construction crew. A selection of the pictures will be included with the completion of the online inspection form (so the pictures will need to be transferred to the computer to attach to the form). Depending on the site type, a water sample analyzed for pH/turbidity in the field may need to be completed at discharge sampling points during rain events where discharge is observed.
  • Communicate any deficiencies to the onsite construction crew and what they need to do to fix them and also communicate the deficiency to the QSD on the SWPPP immediately.
  • There are also some documents that we need to prepare, I am not sure if we would also ask the inspector to assist with these or just use the information he/she has provided to complete them ourselves in-house.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Engineering, Environmental Science, or Geology
  • QSD and/or QSP certification required
