The Building Codes Combination Inspector is a full-time position with benefits and a preferred hiring range of $26.67 - $29.34 per hour (equivalent to $55,473 - $61,027 annually); however, an exact salary will be dependent upon the selected candidate's qualifications and experience. You are the ideal candidate for this position if you have a desire to work both in the field and an office environment while performing a variety of work related to inspections of all phases of building plans and construction.

As a Building Codes Combination Inspector, you'll be responsible for essential duties to ensure regulatory compliance and community safety, including conducting inspections and re-inspections of residential and commercial structures across electrical, mechanical, plumbing, building, and property maintenance areas.

Additionally, the role requires you to manage code violation complaints for buildings and property maintenance and navigate enforcement challenges per office policies, the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code (VUSBC), and in consultation with the Building Official or another supervisor. You may also be required to provide court testimony on code violations.

Furthermore, you’ll prepare monthly inspection reports and draft property violation maintenance letters, maintaining accurate documentation in accordance with VUSBC. You’ll have the opportunity to utilize your knowledge and offer expert assistance to citizens, contractors, and builders, discuss complex code compliance matters, and perform basic plan reviews to ensure all construction projects meet legal and safety standards.

A detailed list of essential functions along with the ideal candidate's knowledge, skills, and abilities is available in the Building Codes Combination Inspector class specification.
