Building Inspector - Level I / II

Building Inspector

The County of Riverside's TLMA Building and Safety department currently has an opportunity for a Building Inspector Level I or Level II across Riverside, Temecula or Desert locations.

Building Inspector - Level I will assist the public in completing applications for building permits; receive building plans for plan checks and provide necessary procedures, forms, and information. They will make field inspections of simple structures under the direct supervision of a qualified building inspector; with experience and proficiency, check non-technical building plans, collect fees, issue permits, and perform field inspection work under less close supervision.

Building Inspector - Level II will inspect buildings and structures being built, altered, moved, or rehabilitated for compliance to building, plumbing, electrical, mechanical, and accessibility, and mobile home codes, regulations, and ordinances; inspect work at each of the required stages of completion and indicate corrective action if necessary. They will review plans for compliance to building, plumbing, electrical, mechanical, and accessibility, and mobile home codes, regulations, and ordinances; determine whether proposed structures conform to accepted standards regarding type of construction, specified construction materials, occupancy, building location, and appropriate land use requirements.

Competitive candidates, for all Building Inspector levels, will have hands-on experience with field inspections and overseeing construction projects from start to finish in both residential and commercial settings. They will also demonstrate knowledge of the processes involved in tilt-up and multi-story commercial construction.

The County of Riverside Transportation & Land Management Agency (TLMA) is the umbrella agency for seven county departments. They are the Planning Department, Building & Safety Department, Transportation Department, Code Enforcement Department, Environmental Programs Department, Aviation Department and the Administrative Services Department.
