SUNIMARY OF CLASSIFICATION STUDY REPORT
Senior Plan Examiner
���
The incumbent submitted the job profile with the approval of the management of LIEP. The
position has absorbed additional duties over the last few years. The focus of the section has
expanded to include site plan review as well as review of individual structure plans. The
supervisory responsibility of the position has expanded while the technical and administrative
demands have increased. LIEP management has a new emphasis on customer assistance and
this position has customer assistance responsibilities. The incumbent believes that these
changes justify a job study and management concurs.
e.� ������•
Review of job profile
Interview with incumbent
Interview with supervisor
Comparison to class specifications
Comparison to other posirions
QFS evaluation and analysis
�s�., �� , �[ _. ��
The duties performed by Yhe position in question were compared to duties described in the
class specifications for the Plan Examiner Series, the Senior Plan Examiner, the Project
?+3aaager Series and the Trades Inspectors. The position in quesror. �erforms more
responsible duties than described in any of the Plan Examiner class specs. While many of the
duties are similar to the Project Manager series the position does not have the development
component characteristic of this series. The various Trades Inspectors, particularly the Senior
Inspectors, were found ta have similar responsihilities.
� �. i � � '� � �
The position in quesfion was compared to studies of positions assigned to the various classes
described above. Again, the actual responsibilities were at a levei above those described for
the Plan tifles. The Project Managers did have development responsibilities while the position
c��-Go1
in question is more oriented to building code issues. The Trades Inspectors were found to
have similaz levels of responsibility but the position in question tends to deal in resolving
conflicts between the uades inspectors and to coordinate with other departments as well as
other organizaflons outside the City. The position in question clearly has responsibilities at
least equal to the trades inspectors and to ffie senior trades inspectors.
{ �� ,i� :�.
The QES analysis supports allocation to Grade 19 in the SPSO unit.
::_�����•��, ��
It is recommended that a new class entifled Plan Review Coordinator be established and that
the position be allocated to this class and compensated as described above.

SUNIMARY OF CLASSIFICATION STUDY REPORT
Senior Plan Examiner
���
The incumbent submitted the job profile with the approval of the management of LIEP. The
position has absorbed additional duties over the last few years. The focus of the section has
expanded to include site plan review as well as review of individual structure plans. The
supervisory responsibility of the position has expanded while the technical and administrative
demands have increased. LIEP management has a new emphasis on customer assistance and
this position has customer assistance responsibilities. The incumbent believes that these
changes justify a job study and management concurs.
e.� ������•
Review of job profile
Interview with incumbent
Interview with supervisor
Comparison to class specifications
Comparison to other posirions
QFS evaluation and analysis
�s�., �� , �[ _. ��
The duties performed by Yhe position in question were compared to duties described in the
class specifications for the Plan Examiner Series, the Senior Plan Examiner, the Project
?+3aaager Series and the Trades Inspectors. The position in quesror. �erforms more
responsible duties than described in any of the Plan Examiner class specs. While many of the
duties are similar to the Project Manager series the position does not have the development
component characteristic of this series. The various Trades Inspectors, particularly the Senior
Inspectors, were found ta have similar responsihilities.
� �. i � � '� � �
The position in quesfion was compared to studies of positions assigned to the various classes
described above. Again, the actual responsibilities were at a levei above those described for
the Plan tifles. The Project Managers did have development responsibilities while the position
c��-Go1
in question is more oriented to building code issues. The Trades Inspectors were found to
have similaz levels of responsibility but the position in question tends to deal in resolving
conflicts between the uades inspectors and to coordinate with other departments as well as
other organizaflons outside the City. The position in question clearly has responsibilities at
least equal to the trades inspectors and to ffie senior trades inspectors.
{ �� ,i� :�.
The QES analysis supports allocation to Grade 19 in the SPSO unit.
::_�����•��, ��
It is recommended that a new class entifled Plan Review Coordinator be established and that
the position be allocated to this class and compensated as described above.
