Building Permit Technician I/II

Building Permit Technician I/II

Washington County's Department of Land Use and Transportation is currently looking to hire a Building Permit Technician I/II. The Planning and Development Services Division for the Department of Land Use and Transportation (LUT) is looking to fill a Building Permit Technician position. The Building Permit Technician is the first point of contact for our customers and sets up and issues permits daily, helps customers schedule inspections, and answers questions regarding the building process. They also provide technical support to customers by assisting them with navigating the County's permit tracking and electronic plan review systems. The Building Permit Technician (BPT) works the front counter at least twice a week, helping customers who come to the office for assistance. Don't have an ICC Permit Technician certification? That's OK! The position is budgeted at the Building Permit Technician (BPT) II, journey level, which requires a possession of International Code Council (ICC) permit technician certification. However, LUT is happy to underfill the position at the BPT I, entry level, depending on the candidate pool and the business needs. If hired as a BPT I, LUT will pay for your training to help you become a BPT II. Incumbents in an "underfill" position are hired with the expectation that they will progress to the Journey-Level Building Permit II within two years through flexible staffing. Those incumbents must be actively enrolled in a "Permit Technician study course: How to study for the ICC Permit Technician Certification test" within one (1) year of employment. Underfill positions require the ICC permit technician certification within two (2) years of employment. The Ideal Candidate will be versatile: They are a team player who can also work independently. You are comfortable in a fast-paced work environment and can handle change in a constructive and positive manner. Customer-centric: They enjoy working in a customer service environment and serving the public. Ambitious: They are self-motivated, organized, and pay attention to detail.
