The City of Durango is looking for a dedicated environmental professional to assist the Stormwater Program Manager in implementing the City’s Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit requirements. As the Stormwater & Environmental Technician, you will play an important role in improving water quality and protecting Junction Creek, Lightner Creek, and the Animas River from pollutants found in urban stormwater runoff.
Your daily activities will offer a balance of in-office and on-site work. In the office, you will review stormwater plans, issue and document permits, and complete inspection reports. In the field, you’ll conduct construction, post-construction, and illicit discharge investigations and inspections. Additionally, you will perform annual inspections of municipal facilities, monitor water quality, respond to flood events, and address drainage concerns.
This role also involves public education and outreach to promote awareness of stormwater management and the City’s stormwater quality program.
