 DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS

Environmental Compliance Inspector I: This is the entry-level class in the Environmental Compliance Inspector series. This class is distinguished from the Environmental Compliance Inspector II by the performance of the more routine tasks and duties assigned to positions within the series. Assignments are generally issued through the asset management program, contain fairly routine tasks, and are performed within a procedural framework established by higher-level employees. Positions at this level are primarily responsible for inspecting and monitoring commercial food, automotive, industrial, and commercial facilities; and investigates sewer and storm water complaints. Employees at the “I” level are expected to learn the full scope of duties, including reporting requirements. As experience is acquired, incumbents perform with less immediate supervision and continue to learn the full scope of duties and responsibilities. Advancement to the “II” level is based on demonstrated proficiency in performing the assigned functions, possession of required certifications, completing the progression criteria established by the Department, and upon review and approval of the department head.

Employees within this class are distinguished from the Environmental Compliance Inspector I by the performance of the full range of duties as assigned.

Positions in this class are flexibly staffed and are normally filled by progression from the Environmental Compliance Inspector I level when experience and required certifications are obtained and progression criteria met, or when filled from the outside, require prior directly related experience and possession of required certifications.
