• Offer guidance and recommendations on the interpretation of City, State, Federal, and construction standards, including local ordinances.
• Keep detailed and accurate inspection records, including test outcomes and other relevant notes.
• Maintain computer-based inspection logs and enter findings into permitting software.
• Handle additional job-related responsibilities as needed.

Required Background

• Strong working knowledge of local building codes and modern construction methods and technologies.
• At least 3 years of experience interpreting codes in the field and delivering compliant solutions.
• Ability to work constructively with staff members, the public, contractors, government agencies, and other stakeholders.
• Excellent spoken and written communication skills.

Physical and Work Conditions

This role requires regular movement in the field, including walking, standing, climbing, bending, stooping, crawling, and kneeling. The inspector must be able to use ladders, scaffolding, and unfinished stairways to access roofs, attics, crawl spaces, and other elevated or confined spaces. Occasional lifting or moving of items weighing about 25 to 50 pounds may be required.

The work also demands clear vision for reading plans and identifying construction details, plus sufficient hearing to communicate in noisy environments and notice safety issues through visual and auditory checks. Manual dexterity is needed to use tools, inspection equipment, and computers or tablets for reporting.

Work takes place both in an office and in the field, with exposure to weather conditions such as heat, cold, rain, and snow, as well as construction-site hazards like noise, dust, and uneven ground.
