What does a pipeline environmental inspector do?

As a pipeline environmental inspector, you examine job sites to ensure compliance with safety and environmental regulations. You inspect the pipeline system, check records, permits, and licenses for discrepancies, and keep up to date with relevant changes to legislation and environmental practices. Your duties span performing safety and environmental checks in the field, traveling to and from job sites, communicating with personnel, and preparing inspection reports for submission to governing bodies. Responsibilities such as corresponding with contractors, landowners, and regulatory agency officials, implementing on-site procedural and safety changes, and overseeing zoning details are part of your daily tasks as an environmental inspector.
