Why a CV for this job?
- They see what they asked for, first. Your experience that matches the ad leads, in the ad's own words, so someone skimming finds it in seconds.
- It gets past the software. Many larger employers use software that ranks CVs by how closely they match the ad, often before anyone reads them.
- In the language of the ad. An ad written in Spanish gets a CV in Spanish, even when yours is in Portuguese.
- Your facts, nothing invented. Your own experience, reordered and reworded. What the ad wants and your CV does not show is listed for you to add, only if it is true. You check it before you send it.

A WORLD LEADER IN TESTING, INSPECTION & CERTIFICATION SERVICES
Bureau Veritas is seeking a Building Inspector to support municipal clients in Brookville, PA.
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys being out in the field, working independently, solving practical construction-related questions, and supporting local communities. This 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, contracting, carpentry, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, HVAC, construction supervision, municipal work, 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 understand job sites, communicate well with contractors and municipal clients, care about safe construction, and are willing to keep learning, we encourage you to apply.
About the Role
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. Depending on experience, certifications, and client needs, this position may also support Building Code Official responsibilities for contracted municipalities.
This role is a strong fit for someone who enjoys variety, independence, technical problem-solving, and respectful communication with people in the field. In communities around Kittanning and Western PA, relationships matter. The right person will be professional, reliable, practical, and comfortable working with contractors, homeowners, municipal staff, and local officials.
What You’ll Do
Responsibilities may include:
Perform residential and light commercial building inspections for permitted projects
Inspect structural and non-structural components, which may include building, plumbing, mechanical, electrical, accessibility, energy, fire protection, and related systems
Review work for compliance with approved plans, specifications, PA UCC requirements, ICC codes, and applicable local regulations
Document inspection findings clearly, accurately, and on time
Communicate inspection results to contractors, property owners, municipal staff, and Bureau Veritas team members
Identify code-related issues and explain required corrections in a professional, practical way
Support permit issuance, inspection approvals, certificates of occupancy, and related documentation
Maintain clear and complete inspection records and reports
Coordinate with municipal clients, builders, design professionals, and internal staff
Provide reliable field support across assigned communities in the Kittanning / Western PA region
Serve as a trusted resource who helps projects move forward safely, consistently, and professionally
What We’re Looking For
Minimum Qualifications
High school diploma or equivalent
Valid driver’s license and safe driving record
Experience in construction, inspections, contracting, code compliance, building systems, construction supervision, municipal work, or the skilled trades
Ability to read or learn to read construction documents, plans, specifications, permits, and inspection reports
Strong communication skills, both written and verbal
Ability to explain technical information clearly and respectfully
Good judgment, attention to detail, and follow-through
Comfort using basic computer tools such as email, Microsoft Word, Excel, digital forms, or inspection software
Ability to work independently in the field while staying connected with clients, municipalities, and team members
Helpful, But Not Required
The following experience or credentials are helpful, but you do not need to have all of them to apply:
ICC certifications, such as Combination Building Inspector or related residential/commercial inspection certifications
Prior experience performing residential, commercial, or multi-code inspections
Working knowledge of PA UCC, ICC codes, local codes, or municipal inspection processes
Experience with new residential construction, light commercial construction, renovations, additions, or adaptive reuse projects
Experience as a Building Code Official, inspector, plans examiner, construction manager, superintendent, contractor, journeyperson, or trades professional
Familiarity with plumbing, mechanical, electrical, fire protection, accessibility, or energy code requirements
Experience supporting boroughs, townships, counties, or other local government clients
Bilingual communication skills, including Spanish, are a plus
Bureau Veritas is willing to consider candidates who bring strong hands-on construction or inspection experience and are interested in obtaining additional certifications after hire. Additional certifications may also create opportunities for pay growth and advancement.
You May Be a Strong Match If You:
have spent time on job sites and understand how construction comes together
enjoy being outside and working in the field
like a role where every day is a little different
can communicate respectfully with contractors, homeowners, municipal staff, and coworkers
are comfortable making decisions and documenting your work
care about safety, quality, consistency, and public service
are curious, practical, and willing to keep learning
want to turn your construction or trades background into a stable inspection career
