Environmental Inspector 2 (Job Family)

Job Summary

The Environmental Inspector job family consists of three positions: Environmental Inspector 2 (EI2), Senior Environmental Inspector (SEI), and Lead Environmental Inspector (LEI). When successful candidates are hired into NiSource, their education, experience, capability and professional certifications will dictate the position level.

Employees in the job family will be expected to use their professional judgment and expertise as subject matter experts to document their conclusions in written reports, compile photographic evidence of compliance or non-compliance, certify findings as required by law, evaluate the adequacy of environmental plans based on site conditions, assess whether environmental requirements are satisfied and communicate technical elements of plans and regulations to stakeholders. Their responsibility further includes, but is not limited to, developing corrective actions to resolve instances of non-compliance, instructing site personnel on how to implement best management practices, and recommending improvements to designs in order to enhance environmental performance and lower the risks of adverse events.

Positions involve technical skill and specialized knowledge in areas of environmental compliance involving electric and gas construction, legal requirements, best management practices for stormwater, management of potential pollutants, and understanding of applicable standards and policies.
