Verify construction practices and the maintenance of roads, leases, water diversion activities, watercourse crossings, and associated infrastructure.
Accurately document findings and complete data entry.
Make informed decisions on environmental performance that may not be clearly evident and require deductive reasoning.
Coordinate with Field Inspectors and Senior Inspectors to ensure consistency in field interpretations.
