- Provide permitting forecasts and impact guidance to project teams
- Advocate for permitting considerations during early-stage project planning

## What You Bring

- 4+ years managing infrastructure, utility, or construction permitting in enterprise or public-sector environments
- Demonstrated expertise with NEC, NFPA, zoning, environmental regulations

- Project & Process Management
- Advanced risk management and issue resolution
- Permitting workflows for high-volume infrastructure rollouts
- Proficiency in tools like Smartsheet, Excel, and Asana
- Stakeholder Engagement
