CITY OF OAKLAND, CA
Oakland, California, United States
The Position The City of Oakland is an equal-opportunity employer that values workforce diversity, inclusion, and equity. Oakland has a long history of activism around issues of justice and equity. Both oppression and this resistance to oppression have shaped the city’s historical roots and the lives of its residents to this day. As public servants in one of the most diverse cities in the nation, we strive to develop employees who understand the harm and impacts of systemic inequity to create lasting, meaningful outcomes for everyone. Oakland strives to establish an environment that embraces the richness of culture, community, and individualism of employees. Why join the City of Oakland Planning and Building Department (PBD)? Directed administratively by the Planning and Building Department (PBD) Director, the Deputy Director position will be responsible for the overall administration of the Building Bureau. In this capacity, the position also carries the delegation of authority as Chief Building Official to be the administrative interpreter of the Building Code as cited in Section 15 of the Oakland Municipal Code. Given the integral and principal role the Building Code plays in the permitting, inspection, code enforcement, environmental quality, and community character reflected in Oakland’s development and conservation, this position is a key participant in the development of policy, processes, and metrics for the City of Oakland to meet its residents', businesses’, institutions’, and cultural needs. The Chief Building Official has a critical role to play in the quality of life in the City of Oakland, given its history, diversity, architectural distinction, transportation hubs, and economic opportunities. The Chief Building Official has opportunities rarely found in most jurisdictions.
