Job description

About Pro-Spect Inspection Services
Pro-Spect Inspection Services was founded on a simple idea: homebuyers deserve a straight answer about the property they're about to invest in. What started as a small, one-inspector operation has grown into one of the most trusted names in home inspections across the region, built on a reputation for thorough reports, honest communication, and inspectors who take the job seriously. We've helped thousands of families make one of the biggest decisions of their lives with confidence, and we're looking for the next great inspector to join our team.
The Role
We're hiring a Home Inspector to perform residential inspections for buyers, sellers, and real estate professionals throughout Pennsylvania. You'll be the person walking through attics, crawlspaces, and mechanical rooms, catching the issues that matter, and explaining them clearly to clients. This is a great fit for someone who's detail oriented, comfortable working independently, and genuinely enjoys figuring out how a house works.
What You'll Do
  • Conduct full home inspections covering structural components, roofing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and interior/exterior systems
  • Evaluate foundations, attics, crawlspaces, and mechanical systems for safety issues, defects, and maintenance concerns
  • Write clear, accurate, and detailed inspection reports with photos and explanations a homeowner can actually understand
  • Walk clients through findings in person, answering questions in plain language
  • Keep up with Pennsylvania inspection standards, safety codes, and continuing education requirements
  • Maintain your equipment, vehicle, and scheduling with professionalism and reliability
  • Represent Pro-Spect with integrity on every job, every time

What You'll Need
  • High school diploma or equivalent required; associate's or bachelor's degree in a related field (construction, engineering, architecture) is a plus
  • Background in construction, contracting, electrical, plumbing, or a related trade is strongly preferred
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Comfortable with physical demands of the job: climbing ladders, entering crawlspaces and attics, and being on your feet for extended periods
  • Valid driver's license and reliable transportation
  • Basic computer skills for report-writing software

Licensing & Certification Requirements (Pennsylvania)
Pennsylvania doesn't issue a statewide home inspector license, but the state does regulate the profession under the Home Inspection Law (68 Pa. C.S. § 7501 et seq.), and Pro-Spect requires every inspector to meet or exceed these standards:
  • Full membership in good standing with a national home inspector association, such as ASHI (American Society of Home Inspectors) or InterNACHI (International Association of Certified Home Inspectors). This includes passing that association's accredited exam and completing the required field experience (typically 100 inspections performed or participated in).
  • Radon certification through the PA Department of Environmental Protection (PA DEP) if you'll be performing radon testing, which requires completing an NRPP- or NRSB-approved course and exam.
  • Wood-Destroying Organism (WDO) certification is a plus, though not state-required, and is valuable for inspectors covering termite and pest-related findings.

What We Offer
  • Competitive pay based on experience, with performance incentives
  • Company-provided equipment and ongoing training
  • Support with continuing education and certification costs
  • A team environment that actually backs you up when a job gets complicated
  • Room to grow as Pro-Spect continues to expand across Pennsylvania

Equal Opportunity Employer
This employer is required to notify all applicants of their rights pursuant to federal employment laws. For further information, please review the Know Your Rights notice from the Department of Labor.
