The Planning, Development and Real Estate department is looking for a regular full-time Chief Building Official to join their team. Reporting to the Director, Development, the Chief Building Official (CBO) leads the City's Building Services Division, acting as the statutory authority for building regulation and compliance. This role is responsible for ensuring that all buildings within the City meet safety, sustainability, and regulatory standards under the BC Building Code, the Safety Standards Act, and City bylaws.

In this position, you will facilitate excellent customer service by providing expert leadership and final decision-making on building code compliance, bylaws, and enforcement. You will oversee permitting, inspections, plan review, and enforcement for a wide range of projects, while leading modernization initiatives such as digital permitting, e-plan review, and process improvements. The role integrates the City's energy, climate, and sustainability goals—such as the BC Energy Step Code and Zero Carbon targets—into building regulation and practice.

The position requires at least ten years of progressive experience in building regulation, inspections, or permitting, including five years in a senior or supervisory role, preferably in a municipal setting. Candidates should demonstrate expertise in digital permitting, regulatory modernization, and interpreting the BC Building Code for complex projects. Strong leadership, communication, conflict resolution, and stakeholder engagement skills are essential, along with a commitment to sustainability, resilience, accessibility, and customer-focused service. A valid BC Class 5 driver's license (or equivalent) is also required.
