The Position The City of Oakland is an equal-opportunity employer that values workforce diversity, inclusion, and equity. Oakland has a long history of activism around issues of justice and equity. Both oppression and this resistance to oppression have shaped the city’s historical roots and the lives of its residents to this day. As public servants in one of the most diverse cities in the nation, we strive to develop employees who understand the harm and impacts of systemic inequity to create lasting, meaningful outcomes for everyone. Oakland strives to establish an environment that embraces the richness of culture, community, and individualism of employees. Why join the City of Oakland Planning and Building Department (PBD)? Directed administratively by the Planning and Building Department (PBD) Director, the Deputy Director position will be responsible for the overall administration of the Building Bureau. In this capacity, the position also carries the delegation of authority as Chief Building Official to be the administrative interpreter of the Building Code as cited in Section 15 of the Oakland Municipal Code. Given the integral and principal role the Building Code plays in the permitting, inspection, code enforcement, environmental quality, and community character reflected in Oakland’s development and conservation, this position is a key participant in the development of policy, processes, and metrics for the City of Oakland to meet its residents', businesses’, institutions’, and cultural needs. The Chief Building Official has a critical role to play in the quality of life in the City of Oakland, given its history, diversity, architectural distinction, transportation hubs, and economic opportunities. The Chief Building Official has opportunities rarely found in most jurisdictions. As part of a larger county in the most urbanized agglomeration of major cities in the nation, The Deputy Director will have a seat at the table for the strategic as well as transactional recommendations to the Mayor, Council, and Administration to enhance the experience of building and developing in Oakland while achieving our principal goal of building safe structures that are welcome additions to the city both during their construction and over the years they are in service to their users. In addition to the technical expertise that this position will call on in its Chief Building Official capacity, the management of a staff of over 50 that interfaces with the Planning and Administrative/Operations Bureaus within Planning & Building Department as well as with the Oakland Fire Department, Oakland Department of Transportation, and Economic Workforce Department will require a service-based philosophy and partnership approach that enhances the internal operations across multiple departments and divisions.

This is also an exciting time to be part of the Reimagining One-Stop Permitting, which is an initiative under the City Administrator’s leadership to look at processes, resources, and regulations to optimize all aspects of customer service in meeting our charge for public safety. The Deputy Director/Chief Building Official onboarding at this time will have an unusual window to be a change agent at a scale that Oakland has not seen in its development services since well before the dissolution of CEDA (Community & Economic Development Agency).

Technically proficient with the California Building Code: you will need to have knowledge and understanding of the California Building Code to ensure that the City of Oakland is aligned as required and to inspire confidence in the public and staff with that proficiency. Capable in data analysis for resource, process and performance assessment: you will need to know how to gather, select, analyze and use data to establish metrics that inform management approaches to improve service.
