Are you ready to play a key role in shaping the future of a growing community while building a rewarding career in public service? The City of Corona is looking for a dedicated and detail-oriented Building Permit Technician I/II Flex to join our Planning and Development Department. In this role, you'll support the city's development by ensuring building permits are processed efficiently and by providing exceptional customer service to residents, contractors, and developers. You'll work with planning and permitting processes, interpret construction documents, and apply a variety of local, state, and federal regulations. Whether you're beginning your journey as a Building Permit Technician I or bringing advanced skills to the Building Permit Technician II level, you'll play a key part in shaping Corona's built environment. This position offers the chance to grow professionally, take on increasingly complex responsibilities, and contribute to a collaborative team committed to community service. If you're motivated, adaptable, and eager to make an impact, this opportunity could be the perfect fit for your next career step. Building Permit Technician I: This is the entry-level classification in the Building Permit Technician series. Initially under close supervision, incumbents learn and perform routine administrative and technical building permit and plan review support work. As experience is gained, assignments become more varied, complex, and difficult; close supervision and frequent review of work lessen as an incumbent demonstrates skill to perform the work independently. Positions at this level usually perform most of the duties required of the positions at the Building Permit Technician II level but are not expected to function at the same skill level and usually exercise less independent discretion and judgment in matters related to work procedures and methods. Work is usually supervised while in progress and fits an established structure or pattern. Exceptions or changes in procedures are explained in detail as they arise. Building Permit Technician II: This is the fully qualified journey-level classification in the Building Permit Technician series. Positions at this level are distinguished from the Building Permit Technician I by the performance of the full range of duties as assigned, working independently, and exercising judgment and initiative. Positions at this level receive only occasional instruction or assistance as new or unusual situations arise and are fully aware of the operating procedures and policies of the work unit. Education and Experience: Any combination of training and experience that would provide the required knowledge, skills, and abilities is qualifying. A typical way to obtain the required qualifications would be: Education: Building Permit Technician I/II: Equivalent to completion of the twelfth (12 th ) grade. Experience: Building Permit Technician I: One (1) year of administrative or technical experience involving a high level of public contact and customer service. Building Permit Technician II: Two (2) years of increasingly responsible administrative or technical experience interpreting building codes and reviewing construction plans involving a high level of public contact and customer service. Licenses and Certifications: Building Permit Technician I: None Building Permit Technician II: Possession of, or successful acquisition within 12 months of employment, a valid International Code Council (ICC) Permit Technician, Plans Examiner, or equivalent certification, to be maintained throughout employment.
