Jordan Middlebrooks | CSST/Laboratory Analyst

Jordan is an Environmental Scientist with Guzi-West Inspection and Consulting (Guzi-West), where she has worked since 2022. In November 2024, she became a Certified Site Surveillance Technician after passing her exam. She graduated from Shasta College with two Associate of Science degrees in Natural Resources and Forest Science and Technology.

Before joining Guzi-West, Jordan volunteered as a Field Assistant for the Western Shasta Resource Conservation District, where she helped monitor and map invasive plant species around Shasta Dam and assisted in the Carr Fire restoration project near Whiskeytown Lake. This work involved using GIS to map site conditions and levels of conservation efforts.

At Guzi-West, Jordan has completed laboratory training and can identify and quantify asbestos using EPA 600/R-93/116. She is currently licensed as a Certified Site Surveillance Technician (ID 24-7710) by the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health and as a Lead Sampling Technician through the California Department of Public Health. She is also trained in quantifying fiber concentrations using NIOSH 7400. Jordan has conducted numerous inspections and investigations for asbestos, lead-based paint, waste characterization, mold, and air quality in both commercial buildings and private residences, as well as assisting in the Palisades Fire cleanup project.

She applies her skills to preparing reports of findings from sampled materials, drafting proposals and contracts, and working with a variety of technical applications. Her experience includes implementing tablet-based software for company-wide use and digitizing field maps with GIS to model and document specific locations.

When she is not working, Jordan enjoys spending time outdoors—camping, hunting, fishing, riding her dirt bike, snowboarding, taking her son on adventures, and playing with her dogs.
