Position Overview As the Permit Coordinator, you keep fiber deployment projects on schedule by handling the day-to-day work of the permitting process: preparing and tracking applications, following up with agencies, maintaining mapping and trackers, and coordinating with field teams and the engineering firm. The permits you help move through the pipeline clear the way for Stimulus's SLFRF and BEAD-funded fiber builds across rural Nevada. You'll work under the direction of the Permitting Manager, executing the standards and processes they establish while flagging issues, rejections, and bottlenecks before they slow a project down. For the right candidate, this is a hands-on execution role with a clear path to grow into greater ownership over time.
