Minot Commercial Building Inspector Position

The City of Minot Building Safety Department is currently accepting applications for the position of Commercial Building Inspector.

This announcement comes with mixed emotions, as the opening follows the recent passing of Tony Stewart, our former Commercial Building Inspector. Tony was a deeply respected member of our team whose professionalism, expertise, and dedication to the City of Minot made a lasting impact on both our department and the community he served. He will be greatly missed.

As we honor Tony’s legacy, we are seeking a qualified individual who shares our commitment to public safety, exceptional service, and the high standards Tony helped uphold throughout his career.

If you or someone you know may be interested in applying for this position, please visit the City of Minot employment page.
