Building Inspector I/II at City of Oceanside – Oceanside, California

Building Inspector I – This is the entry level class in the Building Inspector series. This class is distinguished from the Building Inspector II by the performance of the more routine tasks and duties assigned to positions within the series including the least complicated building inspections, processes simple building permit applications, and answers easier questions regarding state and local building and related codes and ordinances. The minimum one year training period allows the incumbent to learn the pertinent codes, ordinances, and regulations and to learn office and field operations of the division. Since this class is typically used as a training class, employees may have only limited or not directly related work experience. Advancement to the "II" level is based on demonstrated proficiency in performing the assigned functions, and advancement is not based on time in grade but solely at the discretion of the Chief Building Official and the organizational needs of the department.
