Permitting & Licensing Specialist

Electrical Construction | Commercial Residential Solar

$22.00 - $28.00/hr (DOE)

Behind every successful electrical project is someone who makes sure the permits are approved, inspections are scheduled, contractor licenses are current, and every regulatory requirement has been met before work begins.

That person could be you.

If you're highly organized, enjoy working with municipalities and utility companies, love solving administrative challenges, and take pride in making sure every detail is handled accurately, you'll thrive in this role.

At Brda Electric, permitting and licensing aren't just paperwork—they're essential to delivering exceptional service, maintaining compliance, and ensuring our field teams can focus on what they do best.

We're looking for a detail-oriented Permitting & Licensing Specialist to support our Commercial, Residential, and Solar divisions by managing permits, contractor licensing, utility applications, inspection scheduling, and regulatory documentation.

Your work will help ensure every project begins on solid ground, remains compliant, and provides an outstanding experience for both our customers and our field teams.

For more than 37 years, Brda Electric has proudly served the Greater St. Louis area with exceptional residential, commercial, and solar electrical services. Through quality workmanship, integrity, and outstanding customer service, we've earned the trust of thousands of customers and more than 900 Five-Star Google Reviews.

Today, we're entering one of the most exciting chapters in our company's history.

We're investing in our people, improving our systems, expanding our services, and pursuing an ambitious vision for the future. To achieve it, we need exceptional people who take pride in accuracy, professionalism, and supporting operational excellence.

That's where you come in.

You’ll become the go‑to resource for permits, inspections, utility applications, contractor licensing, and municipal requirements across our Commercial, Residential, and Solar divisions.

Every permit you obtain, every inspection you schedule, and every license you maintain helps our projects begin on time, keeps our company compliant, and supports an exceptional customer experience.

One day you may be obtaining permits for a commercial tenant finish, the next processing residential service upgrades, coordinating solar interconnection paperwork, or renewing contractor registrations.

No two days are exactly alike.

As Brda Electric continues to expand, you'll have opportunities to broaden your knowledge, improve processes, and become an invaluable part of our operations team.

We believe great employees deserve flexibility. After successful onboarding and demonstrated performance, remote or hybrid work opportunities may be available based on business needs and departmental requirements.
