Job Description
The City of Avondale is hiring a Building Permit Technician II in our Development Services Department. Join a dynamic team where you’ll get hands-on training, grow your career, and play a key role in shaping the City’s future!
Under general supervision, this Building Permit Technician II supports the Development Services Department by assisting customers with the intake, processing, coordination, and routing of construction documents and permits and planning and zoning applications. The role supports a variety of projects, including residential, commercial, industrial, utility, and capital improvement developments.
Key Responsibilities:
This position works closely with both the Building Permit Technician III and the Chief Building Official to ensure clarity on procedures and consistency throughout the permitting process. In the absence of the Permit Technician III, the Building Permit Technician II takes a lead role at the counter, helping to coordinate workflow, support staff, and ensure continued service delivery within the Development Services Department.
What We’re Looking For:
While experience in permitting is highly desired, we welcome applicants with strong organizational and communication skills, attention to detail, and a willingness to learn. Comprehensive training will be provided on permit processes, regulatory timelines, and the use of our permitting and document systems. A background in customer service, administrative work, or construction-related support is preferred. Success in this role requires adaptability, a proactive mindset, and the ability to stay organized, ask questions, follow through on tasks, and provide dependable support to both customers and team members.
