Beacon Inspection

87d • Remote

About The Position

Beacon Inspection operates a national network of independent inspectors who perform condition reports on commercial trucks, trailers, and heavy equipment for buyers, lenders, and fleet operators. As our Quality Control Inspector, you are the final gatekeeper before any report reaches a client. Your primary function is QC, auditing 1st-draft inspection reports, catching deficiencies, flagging missing or inconsistent data, and applying repair cost estimates to identified issues. Dispatching and inspector coordination are secondary functions that support the QC pipeline.

Requirements

• 3+ Years of Hands-On Mechanical Experience in one or more of the following: Commercial truck or trailer repair or maintenance, Heavy equipment service or operation, Fleet management with direct mechanical oversight, Dealership service department (truck, ag, or construction equipment), Farm equipment or agricultural machinery
• Working understanding of what common truck and trailer deficiencies cost to repair, not from a manual, but from experience.
• Detail Precision: You catch the transposed VIN digit, the missing photo, the tire depth that contradicts the written finding.
• Independent Contractor Experience: You've worked alongside or coordinated 1099 workers. You know how to hold a standard and motivate performance without direct authority.
• Remote Discipline: 100% remote role. You are self-managing, tech-comfortable, and professional on the phone and in writing.
• Organizational Rigor: You are managing an active QC queue, open dispatch jobs, and inspector schedules simultaneously across time zones.

Nice To Haves

• Pre-purchase inspection, insurance appraisal, or equipment remarketing experience
• Familiarity with DOT inspection criteria or FMCSA standards
• Prior work at a truck dealership, equipment auction, or fleet leasing company

Responsibilities

• Audit 1st-draft inspection reports submitted by field inspectors. Verify photos are complete, clear, and match written findings. Confirm VINs, specs, mileage, tire depths, brake measurements, and fluid data are accurate and internally consistent.
• Assign repair cost estimates to flagged deficiencies based on your own mechanical knowledge and industry-standard benchmarks. You must be able to distinguish a minor adjustment from a major repair and produce a number you can defend.
• Coordinate and offer inspection jobs to our national 1099 inspector network through our custom platform. Manage schedules across multiple time zones.
• Walk new inspectors through their first jobs via phone and written feedback using our guideline sheets and report examples.
• Be the most organized, reliable, and clear coordinator our inspectors work with.
