The Permit Coordinator is a critical operational role focused on navigating the complexities of municipal submittals and regulatory approvals.

- Correction Coordination: Facilitate the "redline" correction process by gathering necessary technical responses from architects and engineers to resolve municipal comments.
- Compliance Documentation: Maintain detailed compliance logs and permit databases to track approval timelines, fees, and historical municipal requirements.
- Municipal Liaison: Act as the professional point of contact for city planners, building officials, and utility providers to expedite the review process.
- Process Optimization: Research and document changing local ordinances and submittal requirements across various Central Texas municipalities to improve internal workflow.
Requirements & Qualifications
- Experience: 2+ years of experience in permitting, land use, or construction administration is preferred.
- Regional Knowledge: Familiarity with Central Texas municipal submittal processes (e.g., City of Austin, Round Rock, Georgetown) is highly advantageous.
- Technical Literacy: Ability to read and interpret basic architectural and site plans to ensure application completeness.
- Organization: Exceptional project management skills with the ability to track multiple high-priority deadlines simultaneously.
- Communication: Strong professional writing and interpersonal skills for interfacing with government officials and internal stakeholders.
Compensation & Benefits
- Salary Range: $55,000 – $75,000 per year.
- Determination: Final salary is based on years of experience, depth of municipal relationships, and proven success in shortening permit lead times.
- Benefits: Full benefits package, including mileage reimbursement for municipal visits and professional development opportunities.
