Quality Control Inspector & Damage Estimator — Truck, Trailer & Equipment

Before You Apply This role requires professional experience assessing the condition of commercial trucks, trailers, or heavy equipment and estimating repair costs .

If you have never formally documented deficiencies or assigned repair costs in a professional setting — for a client, employer, or transaction — this is not the right fit. We will test your estimating knowledge during the interview process. Unqualified applications will not be reviewed. This is a full-time position.

It does not start as one. Who We're Looking For You have sat on the assessment side of the commercial truck and trailer business. Maybe you wrote estimates at a dealership, appraised equipment for an insurance carrier, reviewed condition reports for an auction house, or managed fleet maintenance budgets.

You know what a deficiency looks like, you know what it costs to fix it, and you can put a number on it without looking it up.

The Role 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 & Damage Estimator, you are the final gatekeeper before any report reaches a client.

Your primary function is QC — auditing 1st-draft inspection reports, flagging deficiencies, and applying repair cost estimates to identified issues. Dispatching and inspector coordination are secondary functions that support the QC pipeline.

Structure & Compensation Every QC & Estimator hire starts on a paid per-inspection basis: a flat fee for each inspection report you audit and estimate. The purpose is straightforward. Estimating accuracy is difficult to evaluate in an interview and easy to evaluate against real reports.

Once you are consistently clearing reports at our standards. If you need full-time income beginning immediately, apply anyway and tell us in your cover note. We would rather know up front than lose a strong candidate to a timing problem. Res
