Job description

We’re hiring a Building Inspector (I, II, or III) to keep residential construction in Cache County aligned with the IRC and local building codes—and to help projects move forward with fewer surprises. This is a full-time, benefitted, onsite role in Logan, UT (Mon–Fri, 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.).
Key responsibilities include residential inspections of homes, additions, and sheds/outbuildings; confirming zoning/site items, such as setbacks; reviewing plan sets and documenting clear code corrections; and supporting the county permit process from intake through issuance using permit software.
Required skills/experience:
- Working knowledge of the International Residential Code (IRC) and local codes
- Experience performing residential inspections and plan review (plans examiner mindset)
- Familiarity with zoning/site requirements and county permitting
- Strong written/verbal communication, attention to detail
If you’re an experienced construction professional who values clear standards and public-service impact, we'd love to talk to you about this opportunity for learning and growth. 

A Typical Day

As a Building Inspector, your day usually starts by checking your inspection schedule and permit notes in the system, then heading out to active job sites across the county. You’ll balance time in the field with time back at the office to write up findings, answer contractor and homeowner questions, and keep permits moving in a steady, government-paced workflow. Some days are straightforward; others involve tough conversations when something doesn’t meet code, and you’ll need to stay calm, clear, and consistent. You’ll also coordinate with planning and other reviewers as projects shift from plan review to construction.

Total Rewards

We offer competitive total compensation, including: Medical, Dental, and Vision coverage; 401(k); Utah Retirement System; Life Insurance; Health Savings Account (HSA) and Flexible Spending Account (FSA); Paid Time Off; Employee Assistance Program (EAP); and Safety Incentives. 

Competitive hiring ranges based on experience:  Building Inspector I: $28.27-$32.22;  Building Inspector II: $30.30-$34.54; Building Inspector III: $33.56-38.26
