The County of Riverside's Building and Safety Department is seeking qualified applicants for a Senior Plan Check Engineer to support the Plan Check Division location in Downtown Riverside, CA.

The incumbent will perform a full range of plan review related duties; review engineering reports, drawings, specifications, and calculations for buildings to ensure compliance with codes, regulations, and ordinances; interpret codes and regulations in the performance of plan check activities; check plans for accuracy of design and completeness; check complex plans and calculations to determine loading on roofs, walls, and floors, size and spacing of beams, rafters, and joists, amount, and size of reinforcing in concrete members, type of structural connections, and adequacy of design to meet earthquake, wind load, and material stress requirements.

The Senior Plan Check Engineer is the advanced working and lead level classification in the Plans Examiner/Engineer series and reports to an appropriate supervisory or manager level position.

Incumbents assist in the development of departmental policies and procedures, provide leadership in code interpretation and serve as a mentor and technical resource to other Plans Examiners/Engineers.

Incumbents are assigned the most complex projects and play a key role in ensuring compliance with the California Building Standards Code (Title 24), County ordinances and other related regulations.

The Senior Plan Check Engineer may act as a lead on assigned projects, overseeing the work of less experienced engineers or technical staff.

This class differs from the Associate Plans Examiner in that the former requires professional licensure as a Structural or Civil Engineer.
