Hourly, part-time position with flexible scheduling. Compensation includes pay for on-site work, travel time, and mileage reimbursement. You make your own schedule!

Collateral Specialists Inc. (CSI) is a trusted third-party inspection service within the financial industry. For over 30 years, we have been delivering expert field inspections across all 50 states. Our services help financial institutions track, verify, and audit collateral for a wide range of industries, including dealership floor plan, SBA lending, leasing, and more.

CSI’s floor plan inspections provide lenders with a regularly scheduled accounting of their financed inventory. CSI field representatives visit automotive, truck, and construction equipment dealerships at varying frequencies to verify inventory by serial number and model. CSI will verify which units financed by the bank are on site. Units not on site will need to be reconciled to ascertain their status (e.g., in stock, on demo, on rent, not received, sold, etc.)

If they are stored nearby or at a repair shop when you arrive, you will often travel to offsite locations to photograph the vehicle.

Usually in conjunction with a new equipment lease, CSI verifies that the equipment being financed by a leasing company is at the end user’s place of business. Verification includes confirming serial numbers, taking photos, and preparing a short report.

Collateral Specialist’s site inspection service provides a physical inspection of your borrower’s place of business. All inspections include a report and photos of the property. Depending on your requirements, the CSI representative will either take a tour of the inside of the property or perform a no-contact exterior inspection. The detailed site inspection report provides information on the competition, the current business environment, and many other aspects that lenders need to know.

Many of these inspections have a set of special instructions per the need of the client, so someone who has keen attention to detail, and written instructions is imperative.

CSI is looking for detail-oriented, self-motivated Field Inspectors to perform inspections and audits at various businesses across your area. As a Field Inspector, you’ll be responsible for verifying inventory, taking photos, completing reports, and communicating findings directly with CSI’s home office.
