Environmental Technician

Magnolia Home Inspections · Nashville, TN, United States

Other EngineeringQuick applytemporary22 days ago

About The Role

  • Magnolia is a residential due diligence practice. Our clients are home buyers making the largest
  • purchase of their lives, and our job is to make sure they know exactly what they are buying. The
  • Environmental Technician is a vital part of how we deliver on that: every test you run, every
  • sample you handle, and every result you upload becomes part of the evidence a family relies on at
  • closing. When we say we are protectors, this role is where much of that protection actually
  • happens.

The Offer

  • –A guaranteed salary - Real estate is seasonal: busy season means full 40-hour weeks, and the
  • off-season can run as light as 20. Your paycheck does not move. We pay for the role, not the
  • hours — you are paid the same in January as in June.
  • –Company truck, fuel card, and established route - Your day follows an established schedule
  • and a set testing route — most of your day is on the road, working independently.
  • –7:30am to 3pm, Monday through Friday - A genuinely consistent schedule. No on-call. No
  • nights. No emergency phone. Occasional Saturday equipment pick-ups are scheduled in
  • advance — never sprung on you.
  • –Paid training from day one - A full week of structured onboarding, then ongoing education as
  • your technical skills grow. No prior environmental testing experience required.
  • –Team profit-sharing, health insurance, and paid time off in a permanent seat on the team.
  • We are hiring one person to own this role for years, not a stepping stone.

Who Does Well Here

  • This role fits a specific kind of person: methodical, detail-oriented, and most comfortable working
  • one task at a time to a defined procedure — the kind of person who double-checks their own work
  • without being asked. You will spend most of the day working solo on your route, with clear
  • checklists and established processes. Client and Realtor interactions are brief, professional, and
  • structured; there is nothing to sell and no pressure to perform socially. If you take quiet pride in
  • doing precise work correctly, every time, this job was built around you.
  • Many of our best-fit candidates are working today as maintenance technicians — apartment,
  • facility, or property maintenance. If that is you, here is the honest comparison: no on-call rotation,
  • no emergency work orders, no tenant confrontations, and a paycheck that is guaranteed whether
  • the week runs 20 hours or 40. Same hands-on, technical, procedural work — without the parts
  • that wear you down.
  • To be direct about what we are looking for: this is not a transition job. We want someone who
  • finds genuine satisfaction in doing this work well, season after season — mastering the
  • equipment, owning the route, and being the person the whole team relies on for accurate results.

The Work

  • –Execute a daily process of environmental testing at inspection sites across Nashville and
  • surrounding counties — placing, retrieving, and managing test equipment in strict
  • accordance with EPA guidelines and Magnolia's documented procedures.
  • –Manage, track, and care for all testing equipment and the company vehicle — you own the
  • chain of custody process.
  • –Upload and manage test results with complete accuracy — your data goes directly into
  • reports our clients use to make six-figure decisions.
  • –Assist home inspectors on site with photographs and documentation. Perform sewer scope
  • inspections — running the camera through the home's sewer lateral, capturing clear footage,
  • and documenting the line's condition to Magnolia's procedure so buyers know the state of
  • the one system nobody can see.
  • –Manage equipment inventory and supplies — tracking stock levels of test kits and
  • consumables, maintaining calibration schedules, and keeping every piece of equipment
  • accounted for and field-ready so the team never loses a day to a missing tool.
  • –Communicate professionally and courteously with clients, teammates, and Realtors — brief,
  • clear, and scripted by our service process.
  • Expect 3–4 hours of drive time daily. The rhythm of this job is its best feature: a predictable route,
  • the same proven procedures at every site, and a clear finish line every afternoon.

Requirements

  • –Valid driver's license and a clean driving record — required. An MVR check is part of the
  • hiring process.
  • –Ability to lift equipment, climb stairs and ladders, and occasionally access confined spaces.
  • –Strong attention to detail and disciplined follow-through on procedures.
  • –Fundamental smartphone and computer skills for scheduling and result uploads.
  • –High school diploma or equivalent preferred; one year of customer service experience
  • preferred.
  • –Periodic drug testing required.

How to Apply

  • Every candidate submits a resume and completes a short work-style survey before interviews are
  • scheduled — it is how we make sure this role fits the way you actually like to work. Only
