This is technical inspection work involving enforcement of codes, regulations, and ordinances regarding building construction, related site, mechanical, plumbing, and electrical work for residential and commercial projects.

Department is currently in need of applicants with prior experience in Electrical and Mechanical construction!

Employees in this class are responsible for performing highly technical inspections of residential and commercial structures and construction sites to ensure conformance with approved plans and state/municipal codes, regulations, and ordinances. Employees in the class work under the license of the Building Official for a one (1) year period (with a provisional license) while training and preparing to obtain a minimum of one (1) of five (5) state inspector licenses.

Tasks are of more than average difficulty, requiring employees to possess considerable knowledge and expertise in: building construction and related site work; plumbing, electrical and mechanical installations; inspection procedures; and associated codes. Work involves the inspection of residential and commercial buildings which are under construction or being repaired, remodeled or enlarged and is performed during various stages of completion to ensure structural integrity and compliance with building codes and ordinances.

An important aspect of this work is prevention of pollution or contamination of water and sewer facilities in order to protect the health of the community being served by these facilities. Employees must exercise extreme caution in performing mechanical inspections because work is conducted in proximity to equipment operating at hazardous high pressures, temperatures, and voltages. Reasonable initiative and independent judgment are required in determining whether changes are needed in plans and in making recommendations to contractors, engineers, architects, etc.

Accurate, complete, and current inspection records are maintained to provide supporting documentation, particularly when approval is not given, a violation is determined to exist, or a project plan must be modified. An employee must exercise tact and courtesy when conducting inspections, in the resolution of inspection problems, and in the explanation of code content or its interpretation to the general public, contractors, engineers, builders, and owners.

Employees operate lightweight motor vehicles to travel among work locations and perform tasks requiring moderate exertion, including climbing ladders, scaffolds, etc. Work is performed under general supervision and reviewed through observation, conferences, and inspection reports submitted.
