Independent Property Field Inspector — Central-West Michigan Territory
Manistee, Mason, Oceana, Lake, Newaygo, Mecosta, Osceola, Wexford Counties, and surrounding areas.
Route-Based Work | Paid Per Inspection | Independent Contractor Opportunity
NSPEKTR is seeking reliable independent property field inspectors to complete exterior property inspections, underwriting surveys, condition checks, and field documentation assignments in the Central-West Michigan area.
This is a 1099 independent contractor opportunity.
It is not hourly employment. Contractors are paid per completed inspection.
This opportunity is best for someone who is self-motivated, route-efficient, comfortable using mobile apps and online systems, and able to complete assignments by deadline without daily supervision.
About the Work
Most current assignments are exterior-only insurance underwriting surveys. Some assignments may include basic condition checks or additional property documentation depending on client needs.
Typical work may include:
- Traveling to assigned properties
- Taking photos
- Measuring property structures
- Completing basic property condition forms
- Completing sketches or diagrams
- Completing reports through online systems
- Submitting completed assignments by the required deadline

Compensation
This is paid per completed inspection, not hourly.
Typical inspection pay ranges from $6–$20+ per completed inspection depending on assignment type.
