SERIES CONCEPT
Inspector-Planner-Estimators perform inspection, planning and estimating for
preventive maintenance, repair, alteration and minor new construction of
buildings and equipment installed on grounds or in buildings; and perform
other related duties as required.
CLASS CONCEPTS
Senior Inspector-Planner-Estimator
Under direction, incumbents assist the officer in charge of preventive
maintenance, repair, alterations and minor new construction for a campus
physical plant in serving as working leaders of a group of Inspector-Planner-
Estimators and/or Assistant Inspector-Planner-Estimators; analyze I-P-E
reports and on the basis of such reports and personal inspection, make final
decisions in the field concerning job conditions, time schedules and work
methods.
Inspector-Planner-Estimator
Under general supervision, incumbents serve as staff assistants in the
Physical Plant Department in performing the full range of inspection, planning
and estimating for preventive maintenance, repair, alteration, and minor new
construction of buildings and equipment installed on grounds or in buildings.
Incumbents typically inspect buildings and other structures, roads, walks and
other paved areas, electrical systems and related equipment, heating and
ventilation systems, compressed air systems, plumbing, boilers and associated
equipment, shop equipment, and various other items as required; prepare
uniform inspection guides and check-off lists to assure that established
levels of maintenance are attained but not exceeded; verify that items
inspected are in a good state of repair, or if not, detail deficiencies and
make recommendations for necessary repairs or replacement; prepare sketches
and cost estimates when required, and interpret plans, blueprints,
specifications, technical directives, and orders; prepare detailed job
orders in connection with preventive maintenance, repair, alteration, and
minor new construction of University facilities; analyze work to be
accomplished in line with accepted trade practices, pertinent specifications,
drawings, and sketches; and distribute work orders to the work centers
involved.
Inspector-Planner-Estimators also estimate total man-time requirements and
detail costs by shops, using available Engineering Performance Standards,
historical data and the application of knowledge acquired as a craft worker;
determine amount and type of material needed by each shop and estimate over
all material costs; provide data and detailed cost estimates for future budget
planning and other policy decisions; prepare detailed job orders and plan for
contract work within the funding limitations of the Physical Plant Department;
and prepare and secure engineering data, records, and field studies for
special engineering projects as required.
In addition, incumbents prepare detailed job orders, sketches, cost estimates,
specifications, and computations for work performed in Physical Plant
Department shops (this includes review to assure compliance with local
building codes and policies as established by the campus office of Architects
and Engineers); provide technical and other information to shop personnel in
the daily performance of their work (this includes maintaining a current file
of all University plans and specifications); and provide assistance and advice
in the scheduling of work among the various work centers in the Physical Plant
Department. This is accomplished by reviewing the progress of job orders and
accompanying plans, and by analyzing material requirements.
Assistant Inspector-Planner-Estimator
Under supervision, incumbents perform inspection, planning and estimating work
of moderate difficulty for preventive maintenance, repair, alteration, and
minor new construction of buildings and equipment installed on grounds or in
buildings; and assist Inspector-Planner-Estimators on more complex assignments
of inspecting, planning and estimating. This class is the entry level.
Assistant Inspector-Planner-Estimators inspect buildings and other structures,
roads, walks and various other items as required, and recommended action to be
taken subject to review by the Inspector-Planner-Estimator; analyze work to
be accomplished in line with accepted trade practices, pertinent
specifications, drawings, and sketches; distribute work orders to the work
centers involved; provide technical and other information to shop personnel in
the daily performance of their work (this may include maintaining a current
file of all University plans and specifications); and provide assistance and
advice in the scheduling of work among the various work centers in the
Physical Plant Department (this is accomplished by reviewing the progress of
job orders and accompanying plans, and by analyzing material requirements).
In addition, incumbents prepare detailed job orders in connection with
maintenance, repair, alteration, and minor new construction for projects of
moderate difficulty; prepare sketches and cost estimates, when required, and
interpret plans, blueprints, specifications, technical directives, and orders
for projects of moderate difficulty; assist in the preparation and application
of uniform inspection guides and check-off lists to assure that established
levels of maintenance are attained, but not exceeded; and assist the
Inspector-Planner-Estimator in complex projects.
