Unit Turn Inspector

 

About the Position

Do you have a sharp eye for detail and a knack for knowing what it takes to get a space looking its best? We're looking for a Unit Turn Inspector to help keep our apartment communities moving by making sure every vacant unit is assessed, scoped, and brought back to rent-ready conditions quickly and to Elevate's standards. In this role, you'll travel between properties in your region to inspect units at move-in and move-out, document their condition, order the parts each turn needs, and confirm the finished work meets our standards. You'll partner closely with other team members to keep the turn schedule on track and every unit ready for its next resident. You don't need a background in property management. If you're handy, organized, and a strong communicator, we'll teach you the rest!

 

Benefits

At Elevate, we are proud to offer a comprehensive and competitive benefits package. Our benefits include:

  • Paid Time Off.

  • Paid Holidays.

  • 401K with Employer Match.

  • Flexible Spend Accounts.

  • Health Savings Account.

  • Medical

  • Dental

  • Vision

  • Company paid life insurance.

  • Company paid short-term disability and long-term disability insurance.

 

What You'll Do

  • Elevate Unit Turn Readiness: Inspect each unit at move-out and identify the work needed to bring it to rent-ready condition — cleaning, painting, flooring, repairs, and specialty work. Pass along a clear, complete scope so the right resources can be assigned, and let the team know when conditions change in the field.

  • Elevate Inspections and Quality Control: Conduct detailed move-in and move-out inspections to assess unit condition. Document findings with photos and written detail, and accurately record resident-caused damages for the appropriate team to review. Complete final walkthroughs to confirm each unit meets Elevate's standards for functionality, cleanliness, and presentation before marketing and move-in.

  • Elevate Parts and Materials Ordering: Determine the parts and materials each unit requires based on the documented damages and needed repairs. Create and submit accurate parts orders with the correct quantities and specifications, and track them so materials arrive in time for the work to be completed.

  • Elevate Operational Partnership: Work closely with the Operations Analyst/Dispatcher, who maintains the turn schedule and assigns technicians and vendors. Provide the scope, priority, and access details they need, and report progress, delays, and unit readiness from the field so the schedule stays accurate.

  • Elevate Work Quality Follow-Up: Check completed work from in-house technicians and third-party vendors against the assigned scope. Note deficiencies, request corrections, and confirm the work is finished. Communicate recurring quality concerns to your manager.

 

Who You Are

  • Elevated Attention to Detail: You have a careful, thorough eye for unit condition and the discipline to document what you find consistently and accurately. Other teams rely on your inspection records and parts orders, so completeness and precision matter.

  • Elevated Hands-On Knowledge: You have basic handiness and mechanical aptitude — enough to look at a unit and recognize what's broken, what it will take to fix it, and what parts the job calls for. You don't need a background in property management; we'll teach you the rest.

  • Elevated Problem-Solving: You can assess a unit's condition, recognize what will slow a turn down, and raise it early enough to be addressed.

  • Elevated Collaboration: You're comfortable working as part of a coordinated team. You share information proactively and keep your dispatch partner informed so the whole operation stays aligned.

  • Elevated Communication: You communicate clearly in writing and verbally. You can document inspection findings, relay accurate scope and status to the Operations Analyst/Dispatcher, and give timely updates to site and leasing staff.

  • Elevated Travel: You're comfortable with regular travel within your assigned region to perform inspections, check on repairs, and work with on-site teams.

 

Qualifications

This is a great opportunity for candidates with a hands-on mindset, a sharp eye for detail, and the ability to stay organized while moving between multiple properties. Ideal candidates will have general knowledge of what it takes to make an apartment (or any property) rent-ready, be comfortable with technology, and communicate well. We expect you to have:

  • High school diploma or equivalent.

  • Valid driver's license and your own reliable vehicle for frequent travel between properties.

  • Ability to inspect apartments and accurately document their condition.

  • General knowledge of what it takes to make an apartment or other property rent-ready.

  • Comfort using technology, including smartphones, tablets, and computer-based systems.

  • Ability to stand for long periods of time.

  • Ability to multitask, manage multiple priorities, and stay on schedule.

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
