The City of Milwaukie is making strides toward fully realizing its potential in the metropolitan area. Offering both a small town feel and close proximity to Portland, Milwaukie acts as an unassuming village with big city amenities. Like many jurisdictions throughout the metro, it is experiencing remarkable development and growth. Several exciting projects sit within each phase of the building review pipeline (including the Hillside Park redevelopment) alongside recently completed major projects such as Henley Place Apartments and Seven Acre Apartments. In addition, Milwaukie's historic downtown is at the cusp of an inspiring evolution.
This new position will work with a creative, solution-orientated, and friendly team of building professionals, as well as coordinate with a planning, engineering, public works, and community development group that is both helpful and supportive.

The development process can be fast-paced and demanding at times. The city is looking for someone who is resourceful and thoughtful in administering the building code, as well as conscious of the importance of organizational culture and employee engagement.
