Building Inspector

#jobalert | DIRECT HIRE | Certified Building Inspector | El Paso, TX (Field-Based) 

A Texas-based municipal inspection services firm with active contracts across the state is hiring a Certified Building Official to lead inspection operations in the El Paso area. This is a senior, leadership-level role — not a field inspector seat. You'll supervise inspectors, manage a residential inspection program, serve as a technical resource for the company's sales team, and own quality and code compliance for a live city contract. If you hold your CBO credential and TSBPE license and want leadership scope, real compensation, and a firm that's growing rather than treading water, this is worth a conversation.

• $90K–$120K annually, reflecting experience and leadership scope
• Health, Dental, Vision, and 401(k) with 5% dollar-for-dollar company match
• Unlimited PTO (restrictions apply) and 13 paid holidays
• Company vehicle with all expenses covered (gas, maintenance)
• Company-provided laptop, iPad, and technology tools
• Remote ( field based), located in the El Paso area
