Position Overview
As a Designer II or III Specializing in Entitlements, you will play a key role in the preparation of entitlement applications and exhibits that support civil land development projects throughout the Las Vegas Valley. This position is ideal for a civil designer with strong site planning experience who is interested in specializing in land use entitlements, municipal processes, and project approvals.
Over time, this role offers the opportunity to develop into representing projects before planning commissions, city councils, and other public agencies.
Responsibilities include preparing entitlement exhibits, site plans, tentative maps, waiver and variance exhibits, and other application materials required by local jurisdictions. You will assist in evaluating project feasibility through due diligence, researching zoning and development codes, coordinating with internal engineering and survey teams, and working with planning staff and outside agencies throughout the entitlement process.
Applicants should have experience with civil land development design and be able to read and understand civil engineering plan sets. A strong understanding of site planning, zoning regulations, municipal development standards, underground utilities, topography, and plan production is required. Experience preparing entitlement documents within one or more Las Vegas Valley jurisdictions—including the City of Las Vegas, Clark County, Henderson, North Las Vegas, Boulder City, or related agencies—is highly desirable.
Proficiency with AutoCAD Civil 3D is expected. Familiarity with local entitlement processes, including tentative maps, site development plans, design reviews, waivers, variances, use permits, and related applications, is preferred.
We're looking for someone who demonstrates sound judgment, strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously. The ideal candidate is proactive, communicates effectively, enjoys researching and interpreting development regulations, and has a genuine interest in becoming a subject matter expert in land use entitlements and, ultimately, presenting projects before public hearing bodies.
