Job Purpose

The USEPA has required vehicle exhaust emissions inspections since the 1980s for pollution mitigation and air quality improvement. Opus Inspection is the largest vehicle inspection company in North America. Unique in our portfolio of technologies are remote sensing devices (RSD). RSDs enable vehicle exhaust emissions to be inspected as vehicle drive by on the road (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kLldvbKMbs). RSDs are used to screen vehicle emissions so those with very high emissions can be notified to seek pollution-reducing repair. The Environmental Emissions Technician will learn about Opus' patented RSD technology and worldwide footprint, RSD operation and maintenance, and how RSDs have contributed to improving the air through exhaust emissions inspection program for over 3 years.
