About The Position

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. 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.
