Licensed Home Inspector

Primary Service Area: Pensacola and Pensacola Beach, Florida
Employment Type: Part-Time W-2 Position with Potential to Grow into Full-Time

​

Join Trinity Home Inspections

Trinity Home Inspections LLC is seeking a dependable, motivated, and professional individual to join our growing team as a Licensed Home Inspector.

​

This position will primarily serve Pensacola, Pensacola Beach, and surrounding communities. Applicants should live in the Pensacola or Pensacola Beach area and be prepared to occasionally travel to other service areas, including Baldwin County, Alabama.

​

Although current home inspector licensing is preferred, we are willing to consider an exceptional unlicensed candidate who demonstrates strong communication skills, technical aptitude, attention to detail, professionalism, and the ability to successfully complete Florida and Alabama licensing requirements.

​

This is initially a part-time position with the potential to grow into a full-time role as inspection volume increases.

​

Paid field training ranges from $20.00 to $25.00 per hour, based on experience, current licensing, progress, and demonstrated competency. Once the required training process has been successfully completed and the inspector is approved to work independently, compensation increases to $30.00 per hour.

​

The position includes paid drive time, mileage reimbursement at $0.72 per mile in accordance with company policy, and additional compensation for qualifying crawlspace inspections and sewer-scope services. Employees may also be eligible for bonuses and annual performance-based pay increases.

​

Report writing, required client consultations, travel, and other approved inspection-related work are paid at the employee’s applicable hourly rate.

Work Schedule

The normal work schedule is Monday through Friday, with occasional Saturday availability required based on inspection demand. Sunday work is rare but may occasionally be necessary.

​

Inspectors will have some flexibility in managing their schedules and availability. However, inspection times and weekly hours will vary based on client demand, property availability, travel requirements, seasonal volume, and business needs.

​

The employee must be dependable, communicate availability clearly, and honor accepted inspection assignments.

​

The employee is responsible for the cost of initial licensing, pre-licensing education, initial examinations, and other training required to first obtain a Florida or Alabama home inspector license.
