Storm Water Inspector

Stormwater Inspector (QSD Preferred) – Join Keish Environmental!

Are you a QSD-certified stormwater expert looking to make a tangible impact on critical infrastructure and environmental restoration projects? Do you have experience navigating post-wildfire restoration efforts, ensuring stormwater compliance in sensitive, high-risk areas? Keish Environmental is seeking an experienced Stormwater Inspector to lead compliance efforts on construction, municipal, and wildfire recovery projects in the Los Angeles area.

If you hold a QSD certification (or are a QSP eager to advance), this is your opportunity to apply advanced stormwater management strategies, SWPPP development, and regulatory oversight to projects that protect communities and ecosystems.

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. Remote or hybrid work is not available. 🚧

🔹 5–10 years of experience in Environmental Engineering, Environmental Science, or Construction Management.
🔹 Deep understanding of stormwater regulations, NPDES permits, and erosion control strategies.
