MH
Environmental Technician
Magnolia Home Inspections · Nashville, TN, United States
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
candidates who complete both will be considered
