HUD - OHP Inspector (1099)

Aoka • Gainesville, FL

4d • Onsite

About The Position

Aoka is seeking independent inspectors to support HUD Office of Healthcare Programs (OHP) projects. Inspectors conduct monthly inspections of new construction and substantial rehabilitation projects at senior living and care facilities, verifying that work meets HUD-OHP contract requirements. This flexible, project-based 1099 role pays $350 or more per completed inspection, depending on travel distance between the inspection site and the inspector’s home. Each on-site inspection takes approximately 1 to 1.5 hours, with reporting taking about 30 to 45 minutes, excluding travel time. Training on the inspection process and VertexPlans software is provided.

Inspectors travel to assigned sites, coordinate appointments with property owners, contractors, and project teams, inspect units and common areas, document findings in inspection software, and submit complete reports. The work requires independent scheduling and timely communication about inspection results and site issues. Physical tasks include navigating construction sites and buildings, accessing areas such as attics and crawl spaces when needed, lifting up to 25 pounds, and driving to project sites.

Aoka is a government services provider offering building department support to more than 80 cities across Texas and several other locations. Its services include planning and zoning, plan review, and building, fire, and health inspections. Aoka also supports federal HUD and OHP programs. Its proprietary VertexPlans software supports plan reviews, inspections, and reporting. The company describes its values as Continuous Improvement, Diversity of Thought, Empathy, and Focus, and its vision as using technology to reshape construction.
