Job:

Shearon Environmental Design is seeking a Basin & Stormwater Inspector to join its Design/Civil Engineering team. This primarily field-based position is responsible for inspecting, evaluating, and documenting stormwater management facilities, drainage systems, basins, BMPs, and related site conditions throughout the Delaware Valley region. The position also serves as a key link between Design/Civil Engineering and Shearon's Maintenance and Construction teams, helping translate field observations into practical solutions and potential scopes of work.

Key Responsibilities:

• Conduct routine, post-storm, and condition-based inspections of stormwater management facilities and related site infrastructure.
• Inspect stormwater basins, BMPs/SCMs, drainage swales, inlets, outlets, conveyance systems, channels, slopes, and discharge points.
• Identify erosion, sedimentation, standing water, drainage issues, stabilization concerns, vegetation problems, structural deficiencies, and other conditions affecting stormwater systems.
• Perform inspections associated with Pennsylvania DEP Chapter 102 and NPDES requirements, as applicable.
• Document site conditions through photographs, field notes, inspection reports, and other required documentation.
• Identify deficiencies, recommend corrective actions, and monitor previously identified issues through completion.
• Recognize conditions that may require additional investigation or services by Civil Engineering, Construction, or Maintenance.
• Perform inspections for HOAs, property managers, commercial properties, institutional clients, and other Shearon clients.
• Meet with property managers, HOA representatives, facility managers, contractors, and other client contacts to understand concerns and explain observed conditions.
• Build strong client relationships through responsive communication and proactive identification of property needs.
• Help clients understand recommended maintenance, repairs, improvements, and long-term stormwater management needs.
• Work closely with Maintenance on basin maintenance, vegetation management, mowing, invasive plant control, landscape improvements, and ongoing property maintenance.
• Coordinate with Construction on erosion repairs, grading, drainage improvements, basin restoration, structural repairs, stabilization, and other site construction.
• Coordinate with Design/Civil Engineering on engineering assessments, stormwater management design, drainage improvements, permitting, restoration projects, and larger capital improvements.
• Identify potential maintenance, repair, restoration, construction, and engineering opportunities during field inspections.
• Work with the appropriate Shearon teams to develop scopes of work based on observed conditions.
• Assist with preparation of proposals, estimates, and recommendations for identified work.
• Gather field information, photographs, measurements, and other documentation needed to develop accurate proposals.
• Help move opportunities from initial field observation through proposal development and, when appropriate, into construction or maintenance.

Qualifications & What We're Looking For:

• Experience in stormwater management, site inspection, construction, civil engineering, environmental services, landscape maintenance, or a related field.
• Working knowledge of stormwater management facilities, drainage systems, erosion and sedimentation control, and BMPs.
• Familiarity with Pennsylvania DEP Chapter 102 and NPDES requirements is preferred.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical conditions to clients and coworkers.
• Ability to work independently in the field while managing multiple inspection locations.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
• Ability to accurately document field conditions through reports and photographs.
• Ability to work effectively with clients, contractors, property managers, HOA representatives, and multiple internal departments.
• Valid driver's license and reliable transportation.

We're looking for someone who does more than complete an inspection checklist - someone observant and practical enough to look at a property, understand what they're seeing, recognize what isn't right, and help Shearon develop the solution. The right candidate is proactive, collaborative, and client-focused, able to spot legitimate opportunities for Shearon to provide additional services and help turn those observations into actionable scopes and proposals. This position is an important part of Shearon's integrated service model, connecting field observations, engineering expertise, maintenance, and construction to provide clients with comprehensive solutions.
