Senior Plan Check Engineer

The County of Riverside's Building and Safety Department is seeking qualified applicants for a Senior Plan Check Engineer to support the Plan Check Division location in Downtown Riverside, CA.

The incumbent activities include checking the review of proposed buildings and structures to be built, altered, moved, rehabilitated, or abated for compliance with building, plumbing, mechanical, electrical, accessibility, mobile home, regulations, and ordinances. The department seeks seasoned engineers with broad structural engineering experience providing corrections and recommendations to the public, developers, and contractors. Competitive candidates will possess a bachelor's degree in architecture or civil engineering, and experience as a lead or senior in the engineering field.

The Senior Plan Check Engineer is the advanced working and lead level classification in the Plans Examiner / Engineer series and reports to an appropriate supervisory or manager level position. Incumbents assist in the development of departmental policies and procedures, provide leadership in code interpretation and serve as a mentor and technical resource to other Plans Examiners / Engineers. Incumbents are assigned the most complex projects and play a key role in ensuring compliance with the California Building Standards Code (Title 24), County ordinances and other related regulations.

The Senior Plan Check Engineer may act as a lead on assigned projects, overseeing the work of less experienced engineers or technical staff. This class differs from the Associate Plans Examiner in that the former requires professional licensure as a Structural or Civil Engineer.
