Code Enforcement Officer I

Foster City, CA, Sacramento, CA

Exact compensation may vary based on skills, experience, and location.

 

JOB SUMMARY

The Code Enforcement Officer I is the entry level position on the CSG Code Enforcement career ladder that allows the incumbent to learn and develop code enforcement knowledge and abilities. Under general supervision, incumbents perform a variety of office and field tasks. These duties are to ensure compliance with State and local codes and regulations in support of a jurisdiction’s local code enforcement program. Officers will learn, reference and enforce a variety of applicable ordinances, codes, and regulations related to property maintenance, zoning and land use, nuisances, housing conditions, building and fire codes, health and public welfare, safety concerns, inoperable vehicles, business compliance, blight, graffiti, water waste, environmental or other neighborhood-related improvement issues, and other matters of public concern. They will serve as a resource and provide information on regulations to interested parties including property owners, tenants, businesses, the general public, other departments and divisions, and perform related work as assigned. Incumbents will conduct inspections of a more routine nature, learn jurisdictional policies, specific methods and techniques of inspection and code compliance work, all in alignment with industry standards. Employees at this level are not expected to perform with the same independence of discretion and judgment on matters allocated to the journey level. Since this class is typically used as an entry class, employees may have only limited related work experience.

This position requires the ability to work independently on basic code enforcement duties, including the ability to learn and appropriately apply all relevant codes, demonstrate an increase in proficiency with basic computer literacy including database and case management, learn to prepare all necessary documentation, seek guidance on cases or matters requiring support, and consistently maintaining an appropriate and professional temperament for the workplace environment, and the ability to assist, collaborate as needed, and work effectively with all co-workers and the public.

Positions in this class are filled and staffed by incumbents who have met the minimum qualifications, have or are working towards required certificates and training, have demonstrated a level of proficiency, and consistently display the ability to perform the responsibilities required.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
