About The Position

Ready to turn your deep knowledge of buildings into a job that gets you out in the field, keeps you thinking, and actually makes a difference in your community? If you love solving puzzles, spotting details others miss, and exploring everything from high‑rises to cozy rowhomes, this might be your perfect next move. You’ll be the on-the-ground expert ensuring homes across Baltimore meet safety, quality, and compliance standards. One day you might be checking electrical systems in a duplex; the next, you’re evaluating elevators in a high-rise or confirming fire safety in a garden-style community. If it’s residential, you’ll see it. Your superpower? Understanding how buildings really work — from the foundation to the roof and everything in between.
