[Hiring] Quality Control Inspector @Beacon Inspection

Role Description

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.

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.
  • Nothing leaves your queue that you wouldn't put your name on.
• Repair Estimating:
  • Assign repair cost estimates to flagged deficiencies based on your own mechanical knowledge and industry-standard benchmarks.
  • Distinguish a minor adjustment from a major repair and produce a defendable estimate.
• Dispatching:
  • Coordinate and offer inspection jobs to our national 1099 inspector network through our custom platform.
  • Manage schedules across multiple time zones.
  • Sell the work and set expectations without babysitting anyone.
• Inspector Training:
  • Walk new inspectors through their first jobs via phone and written feedback using our guideline sheets and report examples.
  • Your mechanical knowledge is what makes this training credible.
• Contractor Relationships:
  • Be the most organized, reliable, and clear coordinator our inspectors work with.
  • Retain the best inspectors through effective coordination.

• Detail Precision:
  • Ability to catch transposed VIN digits, missing photos, and contradictory tire depths.
• Independent Contractor Experience:
  • Experience working alongside or coordinating 1099 workers.
  • Ability to hold a standard and motivate performance without direct authority.
