The BCI will assist the BCO with plan review, drafting of review comments, and advise the BCO on issues of building code compliance for activities such as new construction, renovation, occupation and use of facilities.

The BCI must have the ability to recognize faulty construction or hazardous conditions; ability to communicate regulations firmly, tactfully and impartially; ability to establish and maintain effective working relationships with contractors, property owners and the general public.

The ideal candidate is a person aspiring to become a certified Building Official seeking additional experience and training and on track to complete that goal within three years. The BCI must complete training consistent with the requirements specified by the U.S. Housing and Urban Development for the inspection of manufactured home installation with one year of hire.
