Building Inspector

A WORLD LEADER IN TESTING, INSPECTION & CERTIFICATION SERVICES

Bureau Veritas is seeking a Building Inspector to support municipal clients in the Brookville, Pennsylvania and Northwest Pennsylvania region.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys working independently, being out in the field, solving practical construction-related questions, and serving local communities. The role supports residential and light commercial construction inspections, permit-related work, and code compliance services for contracted municipalities.

We are especially interested in candidates who already hold ICC certifications or related inspection credentials. However, we also welcome candidates with strong backgrounds in construction, inspections, code compliance, contracting, carpentry, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, construction supervision, or the trades who are interested in building a long-term career in code inspection.

You do not need to check every box to be considered. If you know construction, understand job sites, communicate well with contractors and municipal clients, and are willing to learn the code side of the work, we encourage you to apply.

About the Role

As a Building Inspector, you will work from a home office and spend much of your time in the field supporting municipalities, contractors, property owners, and project teams.

You will perform inspections on permitted construction projects and help ensure work is completed safely, accurately, and in accordance with applicable codes, approved plans, and local requirements. This position may also support Building Code Official responsibilities for contracted municipalities, depending on experience, certifications, and client needs. This role is well-suited for someone who enjoys a mix of independence, field work, technical review, public service, and relationship-building.

What You’ll Do

Responsibilities may include:

• Perform residential and light commercial building inspections for permitted projects

• Inspect structural and non-structural components, which may include building, plumbing, mechanical, electrical, accessibility, energy, fire protection, and related systems

• Review work for compliance with approved plans, specifications, PA UCC requirements, ICC codes, and applicable local regulations

• Document inspection findings clearly and accurately

• Communicate inspection results to contractors, property owners, municipal staff, and Bureau Veritas team members

• Identify code-related issues and explain required corrections in a professional and practical way

• Support permit issuance, inspection approvals, certificates of occupancy, and related documentation

• Maintain clear, complete, and timely inspection records and reports

• Coordinate with municipal clients, builders, design professionals, and internal staff

• Provide reliable field support across assigned communities in the Brookville / Northwest PA region

• Serve as a trusted resource to help projects move forward safely, consistently, and professionally

What We’re Looking For

Minimum Qualifications

• High school diploma or equivalent

• Valid driver’s license and safe driving record

• Experience in construction, inspections, contracting, code compliance, building systems, construction supervision, municipal work, or the skilled trades

• Ability to read or learn to read construction documents, plans, specifications, permits, and inspection reports

• Strong communication skills, both written and verbal

• Ability to explain technical information clearly and professionally

• Good judgment, attention to detail, and follow-through

• Comfort using basic computer tools such as email, Microsoft Word, Excel, digital forms, or inspection software

• Ability to work independently in the field while staying connected with clients, municipalities, and team members

Preferred, But Not Required

The following experience or credentials are helpful, but you do not need to have all of them to apply:

• ICC certifications, such as Combination Building Inspector or related residential/commercial inspection certifications

• Prior experience performing residential, commercial, or multi-code inspections

• Working knowledge of PA UCC, ICC codes, local codes, or municipal inspection processes

• Experience with new residential development, light commercial construction, renovations, or additions

• Experience as a Building Code Official, inspector, plans examiner, construction manager, superintendent, contractor, journeyperson, or trades professional

• Familiarity with plumbing, mechanical, electrical, fire protection, accessibility, or energy code requirements

• Bilingual communication skills, including Spanish, are a plus

Bureau Veritas is willing to consider candidates who bring strong hands-on construction or inspection experience and are interested in obtaining additional certifications after hire. Additional certifications may also create opportunities for pay growth and advancement.

You May Be a Strong Match If You:

• have spent time on job sites and understand how construction actually comes together

• enjoy being outside and working in the field

• like a role where every day is a little different

• can communicate respectfully with contractors, homeowners, municipal staff, and coworkers

• are comfortable making decisions and documenting your work

• care about safety, quality, consistency, and public service

• are curious, practical, and willing to keep learning

• want to turn your construction or trades background into a stable inspection career

If you have been a contractor, superintendent, carpenter, electrician, plumber, HVAC technician, municipal employee, code enforcement officer, inspector, or construction professional, your experience may transfer well into this role.

Why Bureau Veritas?

At Bureau Veritas, our work helps communities grow safely and responsibly. We support municipalities, contractors, property owners, and residents by providing trusted inspection, code compliance, permitting, and building safety services.

In this role, your work will have a visible local impact. You will help ensure buildings are safer, projects are documented correctly, and municipalities have the support they need to serve their communities.
