Plumbing Plans Examiner
King County, Washington sent this bulletin at 05/28/2024 04:45 PM PDT05/28/2024 04:39 PM PDT
Selected candidate will be responsible for reviewing submitted plumbing and gas piping plans for compliance with applicable construction codes and jurisdictional policies in a remote working environment with limited direct supervision. This work is crucial to maintaining the pace of economic development within Seattle and unincorporated King County. Our plan review program communicates directly with project engineers and developers in the private sector and our government partners to ensure plan reviews are conducted ethically, equitably, and consistently.
The Plumbing and Gas Piping Program is an integral part of the Environmental Health Services Division promoting public health. Working in collaboration with the Seattle Department of Construction and Inspections and King County Department of Local Services, our goal is to protect community health through plumbing plan review and enforcing regulations for plumbing and gas piping systems. Our dedicated team of plan reviewers receive between 300 and 400 plans per year and expect the same or more in 2024. The Plumbing and Gas Piping Program upholds King County's equity and social justice directive through our commitment to exceptional public service and seeking to address institutional racism in our policies and practices.
Commitment To Equity and Social Justice
Named after Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., one of the most influential civil rights leaders in our nation's history, King County is a vibrant international community with residents that represent countries from around the world. It is a region with increasing diversity that cherishes the traditions of many cultures.
The county government has a deep commitment to equity and social justice and advancing practices, strategies, and policies that promote fairness, justice, and opportunity for all – in our workplaces and our communities. With this commitment, King County has adopted a pro-equity agenda to advance regional change and ensure that residents from all communities are incorporated into our emergency planning and public outreach efforts.
We recognize that structural racism consists of principles and practices that cause and justify an inequitable distribution of rights, opportunities, and experiences across racial groups. Since declaring Racism is a Public Health Crisis in June 2020, King County and Public Health committed to being intentionally anti-racist and accountable to Black, Indigenous and People of Color communities.
