Code Administrators, Inc. (CAI)
Lancaster County, Pennsylvania
Full-Time | $75,000–$95,000+ Depending on Experience & Certifications
Sign-On Bonus Available

 

Code Administrators, Inc. (CAI) is seeking an experienced Commercial Building Inspector / Plans Reviewer to join our growing team.

Since 1996, CAI has provided municipal code enforcement, inspections, and plan review services throughout Lancaster and York Counties. We operate as a complete code department for municipalities, supporting projects from permit application through final occupancy.

Unlike many municipalities and consulting firms, our inspectors are supported by a dedicated administrative team that handles scheduling, permit processing, file management, customer communication, and other administrative functions.

Our inspectors focus on what they do best:

• Inspections
• Plan review
• Code interpretation
• Working with contractors and design professionals
• Helping projects move forward safely and efficiently

You won't spend your day answering phones, managing permit files, processing paperwork, or handling administrative tasks that take time away from technical work.

Our team includes experienced inspectors, plans examiners, administrative professionals, and code officials who work together to support our municipal clients and the construction community.

We are looking for professionals who want to build a long-term career with a growing organization and become part of a respected team.
