What are the responsibilities and job description for the Environmental Inspector- Mon-Fri FT with Benefits position at Hawk Environmental Services?
Join a top-rated environmental inspection company who cares about the work and our people! We have been experts in the fields of hazardous material inspection, environmental testing, energy efficiency, and workplace safety since 2013.
We are seeking self-motivated, honest, reliable individuals who enjoy working independently to provide services that help our clients live and work in healthy environments. We are seeking an individual with current EPA AHERA and/or WA Dept of Commerce LBP Inspector certifications, but anyone with background in construction, energy efficiency or weatherization would be considered. Most importantly you need good client interaction skills, the ability to learn processes and a familiarity with hand-tools. We will provide training and provide company paid certification and refreshers!
As an Environmental Inspector you will inspect homes and commercial buildings for indoor air quality, asbestos, lead paint, worker exposure and mold. This requires using delicate equipment, entering data, and generating reports. Excellent organization and time management skills are a must.

Other key factors for success:
- Sharing our commitment to integrity and quality service
- The ability to pass a pre-exposure medical examination and respirator fit test for times when personal protective equipment is necessary.
- Knowledge of basic building techniques is needed, and energy efficiency or weatherization is a plus. Experience or certification in environmental and hazardous materials testing is not required.
- Proficiency with word processing and general computer skills for data management, documentation, report writing and sending/responding to emails. Our inspectors generally handle 8 to 11 jobs per week and keeping up with report due dates is essential.
- Basic math and calculator skills to calculate area, volume and time durations.
- Washington Driver’s License (required) and the ability to be insured on our auto policy.
- The ability to use a ladder and agility to perform inspections in attics, crawlspaces and roofs.
