Anchored in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada - 20 miles east of Sacramento and about 1.5 hours from Lake Tahoe - the City of Folsom is comprised of beautiful parks and trails, and boasts excellent schools, family-orientated neighborhoods, and outstanding shopping, dining, and cultural options. Folsom is a high-tech, forward-looking city, with firms ranging from small to large international corporations. Voted by WalletHub as the Best Place for Families to Live in California, and 2nd Best Lake Town in America, Folsom is recognized for its affordability, fair weather, education, and health.
The City of Folsom's Community Development Department is currently recruiting for a Construction Inspector I/II to support the Engineering/Development Team. This is a non-exempt position Monday - Friday, and is represented by Local 39 IUOE.
Under the direction of the Community Development Director and Development Engineering Manager, the Construction Inspector I/II will inspect workmanship and materials used in the construction of public and/or private development projects and adjacent public improvements or impacts to ensure conformance with applicable laws, ordinances, standards, plans, specifications, and departmental regulations; and/or serve as the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) inspector depending on assigned department. Incumbents at the II level may oversee, monitor, and/or direct the work of lower level personnel.
The Construction Inspector I (salary range M51: $73,822.47 - $93,516.09) annually is the entry-level class of the technical Construction Inspector series. Initially under close supervision, the incumbents perform the more routine duties while learning city policies and procedures and becoming familiar with the variety of departmental systems and practices. As experience is gained, duties become more diversified and are performed under more general supervision. This class is flexibly staffed with Construction Inspector II and incumbents may advance to the higher level after two years and demonstrating proficiency that meets the qualifications.
The Construction Inspector II (salary range M53: $77,512.49 - $98,190.50 annually) is the experienced/journey level class in the series, fully competent to independently perform duties. This class is distinguished from those in the lower classification of Construction Inspector I by the relative independence with which they perform their duties of inspecting workmanship and materials used in the construction of public and private projects to insure conformance with applicable laws, ordinances, standards, plans, specifications, and departmental regulations. This class is distinguished from the Senior Construction Inspector in that the latter serves either as the senior or advanced level specialist in the series.
NOTE: The following are the duties performed by employees in this classification. However, employees may perform other related duties at an equivalent level. Each individual in the classification does not necessarily perform all the duties listed.
NOTE: The level and scope of the knowledge abilities listed below are related to job duties as defined under the "Examples of Essential Duties" section of this specification.
High school diploma, G.E.D., or equivalent to the completion of the 12th grade.

The Panama-Buena Vista Union School District (P-BVUSD) provides a safe, supportive environment where all students can ask questions, find answers, reach their full academic potential and become caring, responsible citizens.
Established in 1875, the original district housed a mere 11 students in makeshift lean-to structures. Today, the student population numbers over 18,000, and pupils from Pre-K through eighth grade receive instruction in the most modern of facilities.
The P-BVUSD takes pride in its motto, "Excellence in Education." The district employs a staff of dedicated, energetic, and highly qualified teachers who respect and enjoy working with students.
Bakersfield is ideally located in the southern portion of central California. To the south is Los Angeles, a two-hour drive over a scenic mountain highway known as "The Grapevine." Three hundred miles to the north is the "Golden Gate City," San Francisco. Morro Bay and the beautiful Pacific coastline are a short two and one-half hour drive to the west. Sequoia and Yosemite National Parks are also within driving distance. The popular Lake Isabella recreational area is less than an hour's drive through the majestic Kern River Canyon.
The P-BVUSD is proud of its well-defined heritage which strongly correlates student assessment with classroom instruction. The state adopted district curriculum is implemented by highly qualified teachers who receive professional development designed to enhance knowledge, skills, and attitudes to improve student achievement. Our mission is to provide quality learning opportunities for every student by supporting teachers through mentoring and high quality appropriate professional development. Curriculum specialists, principals, and categorical program specialists facilitate in-depth, structured and consistent support to all our teachers as they provide standards based instruction to educate our changing student population.
