Earning Potential

What You Earn

Independent field technicians receive 70–80% of the applicable inspection fee for each successful report. Reports 1–32 each week earn 70%; report 33 onward earns 80% for the remainder of that week. The weekly count runs Monday through Sunday, based on the date each report is completed, and resets every Monday. Inspection fees vary by assignment, so compensation is not a fixed dollar amount. For example, a $45 inspection fee produces a $31.50 payout at 70% or $36 at 80%. These examples are gross compensation before contractor expenses and taxes, not guaranteed earnings or assignment volume. Payments are deposited every Friday.

How the percentage works

Applicable inspection fee$45.00

80% technician share$36.00

The inspection fee is not always $45. Your payout is calculated from the applicable fee for each assignment. This example is not an hourly rate or a promise of earnings.

The weekly report count runs Monday through Sunday by report completion date and resets every Monday. Each week's pay is paid the following Friday through Stripe. A "successful report" requires: all 6 photos uploaded to Drive (or up to 3 marked as not photographed from public ground, with a reason), occupancy verdict selected, field notes submitted, and PDF generated without error. Incomplete submissions do not qualify for payment.
The Workflow

How Each Job Works

Every assignment follows the same simple four-step process. You'll know exactly what to do before you leave your driveway.

1

Claim a Job

New jobs post to your state's board as orders come in. Sign in with your Blue Hawk-registered Gmail to claim one — first technician to claim it gets the assignment.

2

Drive to Property

Claiming reveals the full property address and opens your mobile field form automatically. Pull up at the property and you're ready to go.

3

Document & Photo

Capture 6 required photos, select occupancy verdict, rate exterior condition, and add any field notes.

4

Submit & Done

Hit submit. Photos upload to Drive, PDF compiles automatically, and your completed report counts toward your weekly pay.

What You Need

Requirements to Join

No inspection license required. This is an exterior-only documentation role — if you can drive, photograph, and follow a checklist, you qualify.

🚗

Reliable Vehicle

A reliable vehicle and valid driver’s license are required. Mileage is your responsibility as an independent contractor.

📱

Smartphone

A smartphone capable of clear photos and mobile-browser uploads is required. A Gmail address is required for assignments, job claiming, and pay notifications.

📍

Local Market Knowledge

You'll work properties in your area. Knowing your local streets and neighborhoods is an advantage.

⏱️

Availability

Assignments are time-sensitive. Each job has a Requested Completion Date chosen by the client. Once you claim a job you must complete and submit it by 11:59 PM local time on that date, and we typically need same-day or next-day turnaround.

📋

Detail-Oriented

Photo quality and accuracy matter. Blurry, incomplete, or incorrect submissions don't count toward pay. Take your time, do it right.

📄
