ABOUT INSPECTED

Inspected is a fast-growing, tech-enabled construction technology company revolutionizing remote inspections and permitting for the construction industry. We serve homebuilders, HVAC, solar, roofing, pool, and commercial and residential contractors across Florida, Texas, Tennessee, and North Carolina — with additional markets launching soon.

Our proprietary platform, Permit Hub, is transforming a process that once took months into one that takes days.

POSITION SUMMARY

Inspected is expanding into North Carolina and is seeking qualified Building Inspectors to perform field inspections of residential and commercial construction for compliance with the North Carolina State Building Code, approved plans, and applicable jurisdictional requirements.

This is a field-based remote role — you work from within North Carolina, travel to assigned inspection sites, and document and upload your results through Permit Hub, our proprietary electronic inspection platform. As one of our first NC team members, you will play a direct role in establishing Inspected's presence and reputation in the state — working closely with our anchor Inspector, Charles Myers, who brings extensive prior NC inspection experience.

• Inspect foundations, framing, structural components, fire-resistance features, means of egress, accessibility elements, weather protection, and other assigned building components
• Apply the occupancy, floor-area, and story limitations associated with your Building Inspector Level (I, II, or III); accept Level III assignments only when properly certified
• Prepare complete electronic inspection reports in Permit Hub with clear results, applicable code references, notes, and supporting photographs
• Identify unsafe conditions and code deficiencies; communicate required corrections clearly and professionally to contractors, owners, and project representatives
• Coordinate scheduling, site access, reinspections, and closeout activities with internal Inspected teams and jurisdictional contacts
• Assist with jurisdiction-specific registration and approval requirements as Inspected activates North Carolina municipalities
• Maintain inspection records, credentials, training documentation, and jurisdiction registrations in current status

COQB CERTIFICATION & AUTHORITY NOTICE

North Carolina Building Code Inspectors perform duties as Code Enforcement Officials for authorized jurisdictions. A probationary certificate is limited to its approved type, level, location, and term. COQB prequalification does not become a standard inspection certificate until applicable employment or jurisdictional requirements are satisfied. Assignments through Inspected will never exceed the inspector's valid COQB authority. Inspectors are responsible for maintaining all credentials in active and current status throughout employment.

WHAT WE OFFER

• Competitive compensation commensurate with certifications and experience
• Unlimited PTO policy
• Health benefits and 401(k)
