Commercial Plans Examiner

The Commercial Plans Examiner role is an integral part of the City’s Building & Permit Services Division. It is a dynamic and rewarding position that serves a multi-faceted role in the permit review process. Our team of commercial plans examiners serve as project coordinators on commercial permits, which means they are the primary contact for colleagues from several other internal review teams such as fire marshals, public works, erosion, community development, and land use staff.
Commercial plans examiners also serve as the primary City contact for permit applicants and regularly coordinate directly with builders, owners, architects, and engineers throughout the plan review and permitting process to ensure project compliance and success. Additionally, via our custom permit system, eBuild, commercial plans examiners perform technical review electronically for building, fire and life safety, and mechanical compliance on all commercial and multi-family projects. This position functions in a collaborative, solution-oriented environment and the ideal candidate will be someone who blends creative problem solving with high integrity and professionalism. The successful candidate will bring leadership and direction to projects while supporting team members to do their best work to ensure timely and convenient service for the City of Eugene’s permit applicants.
