Louisiana Field EPs: Earn $400 + $50 On-Time Bonus

A Field EP performs the on-site portion of a Phase I ESA as a 1099 gig worker. You travel to the subject property and walk the entire exterior boundary, photographing as you go. If there is a building, you photograph its exterior walking in a clockwise manner, then the interior — the whole building for a warehouse, or 10% of the units for an apartment complex or office building. Along the way you document anything environmental you see: hazardous chemicals, stored oil or petroleum products, and similar observations. You then document each adjoining property — photograph it, note its address, and record its current use. When you get home, you upload your photos, complete the photograph log with descriptions, and update the assigned figures. Once your package is accepted, you get paid — with a $50 bonus when you finish within 24 hours of the site visit. A licensed Environmental Professional reviews your work, writes the conclusions, and signs the report.

Fast Phase I pays $400 per completed site visit assignment once your field package is accepted, plus a $50 bonus when you submit the package within 24 hours — $450 total. That covers the site visit, all required photographs, the completed photograph log, and the assigned figures.

You complete a W-9 when you onboard and are paid by direct deposit as a 1099-NEC independent contractor. Payout is released promptly after your photographs, photograph log, and figures are reviewed and accepted — no invoicing, no chasing checks.

Create a Field EP account, complete your W-9 and direct deposit details, and set the coverage area you can serve by radius or state. Once approved, assignments in your coverage area are dispatched to you and you accept the ones that fit your schedule.

No license is required. Field EPs collect and organize field documentation — they do not make environmental conclusions or sign the Phase I ESA. What matters is dependability, professional conduct, careful photography, and the ability to follow a checklist.

Yes — it is a strong advantage. Building inspectors, commercial property condition inspectors, home inspectors, appraisers, surveyors, and GPS/GIS field operators already walk sites methodically, work from checklists, and document conditions with photographs. That is exactly the skill set a Phase I ESA site visit needs, and it is who we are hiring first.

Arrive at the scheduled time and walk the entire exterior boundary of the subject property, photographing as you go. If a building is present, photograph its exterior in a clockwise loop, then the interior — the entire warehouse for an industrial building, or 10% of the units for an apartment complex or office. Document anything environmental: hazardous chemicals, oil or petroleum storage, and similar findings. Finish on-site by photographing each adjoining property and noting its address and current use. Then go home, upload the photographs, complete the photograph log captions, and finish the assigned figures.

The site visit itself is typically completed in a single trip. All deliverables — photographs, captions, the photograph log, and figures — must be submitted within 24 hours of the site visit. Fast, complete turnarounds are how you stay at the top of the dispatch list.

A reliable vehicle, a smartphone with a good camera, and a computer with internet access for uploading photographs and completing the deliverables. The platform provides the assignment checklist and proprietary tools that do the heavy lifting: SiteSnap360™ which creates your photolog and SnapMap™ which creates your figures.

No. You complete the site visit, photograph log, and assigned figures. The licensed Environmental Professional evaluates the information, writes the report, and signs it.

Assignments inside your coverage area are dispatched to you with the property address, scheduled access window, and checklist up front. You accept only what fits your schedule — but once accepted, you own the scheduled visit and the 24-hour deliverable deadline.

Sometimes. Depending on access, you may meet a client, owner, broker, or property representative. You must arrive on time, look professional, and represent Fast Phase I courteously in a subcontractor capacity.
