THE CITY
The City of Menifee is a vibrant and rapidly growing municipality located in southwestern Riverside County, dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for its residents through innovative public service and strategic development. Under the leadership of the City Manager, Menifee operates through a dynamic organizational structure composed of fourteen (14) departments - Building & Safety, City Attorney, City Clerk, City Manager, Code Enforcement, Community Development, Community Services, Economic Development, Public Works, Finance, Fire Department, Human Resources, Information Technology, Police, and Public Works, each committed to supporting the city’s mission of responsive governance, sustainable growth, and public safety. With a strong emphasis on infrastructure development, community engagement, and innovation, the City of Menifee continues to enhance the quality of life for its diverse and dynamic population

THE DEPARTMENT 

The Community Development Department plays a critical role in managing Menifee’s continued growth and ensuring development is safe, orderly, and consistent with City standards. The Building and Safety Division is responsible for building plan review, permitting, inspections, code compliance, and coordination of development-related construction activities. The Division works closely with property owners, developers, architects, engineers, contractors, consultants, and other City departments to facilitate development while ensuring compliance with the California Building Standards Code, City ordinances, and other applicable regulations.

As Menifee continues to experience significant residential, commercial, and industrial growth, the Building and Safety Division is managing an increasingly complex workload involving large development projects, permit processing, plan review, inspection services, technology improvements, consultant contracts, fee programs, and customer service initiatives. The Division is also focused on improving processes and utilizing technology to provide a more efficient, transparent, and customer-focused permitting experience.

THE OPPORTUNITY

The Management Analyst I/II position will be assigned to the Building and Safety Division and will provide high-level analytical, administrative, and program support focused specifically on the Division’s building, permitting, and development-related operations. The position will work closely with Building Official staff, plan reviewers, inspectors, permit technicians, consultants, developers, contractors, and other City departments to support the effective and efficient delivery of Building and Safety services.

The Management Analyst will assist with division budgeting, permit and development program analysis, consultant and contract administration, fee analysis, workload tracking, process improvement, and operational planning. The position will analyze permitting and inspection data, evaluate trends and workloads, prepare management reports, and develop recommendations to improve service delivery and operational efficiency.

Responsibilities may include monitoring Building and Safety operating budgets; assisting with consultant and professional service agreements for plan review, inspection, and permitting services; tracking permit activity and revenue; analyzing staffing and workload demands; supporting development and implementation of permit-related policies and procedures; and assisting with updates to building permit fees, service levels, and operational standards.

The position will also assist with permit process improvements, customer service initiatives, technology implementation, records management, performance metrics, and coordination of special projects within the Building and Safety Division. The Management Analyst may prepare staff reports, presentations, correspondence, and other materials for City management, the City Council, Planning Commission, and other stakeholders regarding Building and Safety programs and activities.

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to help shape how the City responds to the demands of continued development while improving the customer experience and maintaining high standards for public safety and regulatory compliance. This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated professional who enjoys data analysis, problem-solving, process improvement, and working in a fast-paced development environment and who can exercise independent judgment while managing multiple priorities.

The Management Analyst I/II will be responsible for, but not limited to, the following:

• Support the Building and Safety Division by performing analytical, administrative, and project-level work that assists in planning, budgeting, scheduling, and monitoring City infrastructure projects.
