How California EPs Get Started

  1. Create your EP profile

    Tell us your experience level, licensure, and upload credentials. Verification typically completes within one business day.

  2. Set your California coverage area

    Choose a travel radius of 150 to 750 miles from your home ZIP. Projects in your home state always reach you, and you can add states where you'll write reports while a Field EP does the site visit.

  3. Accept the projects you want

    Review the property, scope, and payout — accept only what fits your schedule.

  4. Site walk, draft, get paid

    Perform the ASTM E1527-21 site visit and submit your draft through our field tools. A licensed PE/PG reviews and finalizes. Payout via Stripe Connect Express (direct deposit to your bank) — funds arrive three days after the report is delivered to the client.

How the platform works for EPs.

How do I get paid?

Payouts run through Stripe Connect Express — direct deposit to your bank account. Funds arrive three days after the report is delivered to the client. We handle 1099-NEC reporting automatically at year end. No invoicing, no chasing clients.

How much do I make per project?

The pay for each project is in its job notification, so you see it before you accept. Larger projects pay more.

What tools do I get?

Field tools built specifically for Phase I ESA work: SiteSnap360™ for guided site photos, SnapMap™ for figures, Project Folder™ for organized deliverables, and SnapRelay™ for client messaging. You also get access to our platform assistant — a focused helper built around Phase I ESA workflows that keeps you on task while you work through each section. You write and sign the report.

Do I need to be licensed?

We accept Environmental Professionals at every experience level as EPs, and Field EPs who handle the site visit, photograph log, and site figures. Every report is reviewed and signed by a state-licensed PE/PG before it goes to the client.

How do I set my coverage area?

In your EP dashboard, set a travel radius of 150 to 750 miles around your home ZIP. Projects in your home state (from your mailing address) always reach you, and you can add states where you'll write reports while a Field EP does the site visit. You can adjust anytime.

What's the turnaround expectation?

Site visit within a few days of accepting the project, then draft submitted so the report can be delivered 10 days after the site visit. Rush projects are optional — you see turnaround and net payout before you accept.

Is E&O coverage included?

Yes — Fast Phase I carries Errors & Omissions coverage for the platform and every EP working through it. It's built into every Phase I ESA and costs you nothing.

How are projects dispatched to me?

When a client orders a Phase I ESA inside your coverage area, we send you the project with scope, address, and net payout up front. You accept or pass. No bidding, no cold outreach, no business development.
