Manage agency comments, plan-check corrections, correction notices, revised documents, and permit resubmittals. Coordinate required revisions with civil engineers, environmental consultants, contractors, designers, and internal project teams. Satisfy conditions of approval and secure final permits and authorizations on behalf of the project owner. Manage multiple permit types across concurrent water, utility, civil, site-development, and general-construction projects. Maintain accurate permit logs, status reports, agency correspondence, approval records, deadlines, and regulatory documentation. Identify permitting risks, approval dependencies, and potential schedule impacts, then coordinate mitigation and schedule-recovery actions. Support environmental review, entitlement processing, land-use approvals, map filings, and recordation when required. Participate in project meetings and provide clear updates regarding permit status, risks, approval timelines, and outstanding responsibilities. Support Planning Commission meetings, public hearings, community meetings, and coordination with drinking-water regulators when required.
