Description of Work

Environmental Specialists (ES) with the Water Quality Regional Operations Section (WQROS) of DEQ’s Division of Water Resources (DWR) are our professional “boots on the ground” who go out to the field to inspect facilities, investigate complaints, collect samples, respond to environmental emergences, and provide technical assistance, outreach, and training. The positions require frequent coordination with the regulated community, permittees, other stakeholders, and the public at large.

Field work requires the ability to perform tasks required for physical inspections; walking through rough, steep, and uneven terrain; and tolerating exposure to noise, extreme weather conditions, dust, fumes, machinery, insects, small animals, snakes, chemical substances, etc. State-owned vehicles are used, so ES must have a valid driver’s license. Occasional overnight travel may be required. Some environmental emergencies may require a response to occur after hours and/or weekends, on a limited basis.

Back in the office, ES complete the required data entry and preparation and/or review of documents related to field inspections, permits and/or certifications, complaint investigations, compliance and enforcement actions, and keep their knowledge of rules and regulations current. This requires proficiency with computers, internet research, word processing software and spreadsheets.

The primary areas of focus for this Environmental Specialist I position at the Asheville Regional Office are facilities holding an NPDES discharge permit, non-discharge wastewater permit, sewer collection system permit and/or 401 Water Quality Certification.

Key Roles/Responsibilities: - Conduct compliance inspections and sampling at facilities holding an NPDES permitted sewer collection system permit - Review permit applications and assist with issuing permits or certifications under the regional office jurisdiction - Prepare notice and enforcement documents required by DEQ programs and policies - Investigate and assess citizen complaints and environmental emergencies (including carrying the emergency phone on a rotating basis), and implement enforcement actions as needed

Knowledge Skills and Abilities/Management Preferences

Recruitment Range: $ 47,703.00 - $ 54,461.00

Important: This posting closes at 11:59:59 PM the night BEFORE the End Date above. Job posting details will no longer be available after the position closes.
