DEFINITION

Under general supervision, performs a full range of technical and public contact duties in support of the
Town’s code compliance program. This position emphasizes education and prevention by serving as a
resource, partner, and guide to residents, contractors, and businesses to promote voluntary compliance and
community pride. Responsibilities include proactive community education and outreach, monitoring
construction activity, investigating and resolving complaints, and ensuring compliance with the Town’s
municipal, fire, building, housing, zoning, and related codes and regulations. When enforcement is
necessary, the Coordinator supports individuals through the resolution process by clearly explaining
requirements and facilitating corrective action. Work involves extensive collaboration with Town
departments and the public, detailed documentation and use of case management systems, and the
consistent, fair application of codes and policies. Performs related duties as assigned.

SUPERVISION RECEIVED AND EXERCISED

Receives general supervision from the Building Official. Exercises no direct supervision over staff.

CLASS CHARACTERISTICS

The Code Compliance Coordinator class series is flexibly staffed; positions are normally filled at
the I level, with advancement to the II level based on demonstrated proficiency, possession of
required qualifications, and management approval.

Code Compliance Coordinator I (Journey-Level):
This is the fully qualified, journey-level class in the Code Compliance series. Incumbents are
responsible for performing the full range of duties related to municipal code compliance,
including complaint investigation, construction site monitoring, inspections, case management,
and public education. Employees in this class are expected to work independently, apply codes
and regulations with discretion, and serve as educators and resources to the community.
Positions at this level may receive direction or instruction as new or unusual situations arise but
generally operate with a high degree of independence and responsibility.

Code Compliance Coordinator II (Advanced-Level)
This is the advanced-level class in the Code Compliance series. Positions at this level are
distinguished from Code Compliance Coordinator I by the performance of more complex or
sensitive compliance cases, the expectation to serve as a subject-matter resource, and potential
responsibility for mentoring less experienced staff. Incumbents are expected to exercise greater
judgment and may be assigned leadership in high-profile cases, advanced compliance activities,
or coordination of multi-departmental enforcement efforts. Progression to this level is typically
based on several years of successful performance as a Code Compliance Coordinator I, advanced
training and/or certification, and demonstration of proficiency in handling the most complex
cases.

Advancement to the Code Compliance Coordinator II level is typically achieved through
progression from the I level and is contingent upon (i) management’s determination that the
incumbent is regularly performing the full range of duties of the higher classification; (ii)
demonstrated satisfactory job performance; (iii) incumbent meeting the minimum qualifications
for the higher classification; and (iv) management approval for advancement to Code Compliance
Coordinator II.
