Students will be able to find successful employment in construction and construction related professions in design, construction, subcontracting, administrative support and supplier vendors. Many Bay Area companies look for specific students with inspection capabilities to work in the Facilities Departments and general contractors seek out students with compliance knowledge and experience.
Career Opportunities
The Building Codes and Inspections program provides in depth knowledge of the uniform building codes, mechanical codes, electrical codes, plumbing codes, seismic codes, and energy codes that govern all construction projects in California. These codes form the basis of the standards of quality to which architects, engineers, and contractors must adhere. This constantly evolving and critical field undergirds the health, safety and livability of our built environment. The program provides access to a very strong field of employment in cities, counties, and consulting firms for inspections, code compliance, code development, code enforcement, and related fields.
