• Maintain accurate permit logs, records, and project documentation.
• Support proposal preparation and additional service requests related to permitting activities.
• Research deeds, plats, easements, plans, and other publicly available records needed to support project development.
• Coordinate final permit close‑out and certification submissions, ensuring all required documentation is submitted and approvals are obtained.
• Build and maintain positive working relationships with permitting agencies and regulatory staff.

• Bachelor's degree in a related field preferred.
• 4+ years of permitting, land development, civil engineering, planning, or related experience.
• Strong understanding of municipal, county, state, and federal permitting processes.
• Excellent organizational and time‑management skills with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
