Job description

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, 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.
• 7:30 am to 3 pm, 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 – 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 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.

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. 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.

Benefits

• Company truck
• Flexible schedule
• Fuel card
• Health insurance
• Paid time off
• Paid training
• Profit sharing
