Land Use & Permitting Project Coordinator
Part-Time to Full-Time Opportunity
Residential Construction | Land Use | Permitting | Project Coordination
We are a growing and innovative company helping redefine what factory-built housing can be. We specialize in modular, manufactured, and panelized construction, with projects ranging from ADUs and single-family homes to larger residential and multiplex developments.
Our company brings together design, permitting, project management, construction coordination, and factory-built housing under one process. We are building something different in a rapidly evolving industry and are looking for someone who wants to grow with us.
We are seeking a highly organized and motivated Land Use & Permitting Project Coordinator to help manage residential projects from early site feasibility through permitting and pre-construction.
This position will begin part-time, as we transition existing projects from our current third-party land use consultant and bring new projects into our internal permitting process. We are looking for someone who has the availability and flexibility to grow with the workload, with the opportunity to transition into a full-time position as project volume increases.
This person will act as a central point of coordination between clients, local jurisdictions, our internal team, architects, engineers, drafters, civil engineers, geotechnical consultants, contractors, and other project professionals.
This is more than a traditional permit runner position. The role combines site feasibility, client communication, permit coordination, consultant management, jurisdiction follow-up, site visits, and overall project coordination.
Primary ResponsibilitiesClient Consultation & Site Feasibility
Participate in client consultation and project intake meetings.
Review property information, project goals, zoning, access, utilities, site conditions, and development constraints.

Identify required studies, consultants, approvals, and potential permitting challenges.
Prepare clear feasibility findings and recommended next steps.
Site Visits
Conduct site visits when needed.
Document access, slopes, utilities, existing structures, drainage, and other relevant site conditions.
Take photographs, measurements, and project notes.
Meet with clients, consultants, contractors, or agency representatives onsite when necessary.
Permit & Plan Check Coordination
Assemble and submit permit application packages.
Confirm required plans, forms, reports, calculations, and supporting documents.
Track projects through planning, building, and agency review.
Receive, organize, and distribute plan check comments.
Coordinate revisions with architects, engineers, drafters, civil engineers, geotechnical consultants, and other team members.
Assemble resubmittal packages and manage review cycles through permit approval.
Consultant & Project Coordination
Coordinate architects, designers, engineers, surveyors, geotechnical consultants, drafters, contractors, and other project professionals.
Help determine which consultants, studies, reports, and plans are required.
Request proposals, drawings, revisions, and project information.
Track responsibilities, deadlines, deliverables, and outstanding items.
Maintain project schedules, task lists, documentation, and next steps.
Follow up consistently to keep projects moving.
Jurisdiction Coordination
Communicate professionally with city and county planning and building departments.
Coordinate with public works, fire, utilities, environmental health, coastal agencies, and other reviewing agencies when applicable.
Schedule meetings with planners, building officials, engineers, and agency staff when clarification is needed.
Document agency direction and communicate requirements clearly to the project team.
Qualifications & Ideal Background
This is a specialized role, and we understand that the right candidate may not already have experience in every part of the position.
Direct experience in land use, permitting, residential development, or construction project coordination is highly preferred, but we are also open to candidates with strong transferable experience who are willing to learn.
Relevant backgrounds may include
Construction management or residential construction
Architecture, drafting, or engineering
Urban or regional planning
Building permitting or land use
Real estate development
Project or development coordination
A degree, certificate, coursework, or relevant professional experience in one of these areas is preferred.
Residential construction experience is a major plus. Candidates who understand how homes are designed, permitted, and built will have a significant advantage.
The ideal candidate should have:
Strong organization and attention to detail
Clear written and verbal communication
Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines
Confidence communicating with clients, consultants, contractors, and government agencies
Strong research and problem-solving skills
Ability to read plans, reports, and project documents
Initiative, persistence, and strong follow-through
Availability and flexibility to begin part-time and take on additional hours as project volume grows
Reliable transportation for site visits and agency meetings
Training & Growth
We are willing to train the right person.
We will provide training on our internal systems, site feasibility process, jurisdiction research, permit coordination, consultant management, plan check comments, and the specific types of residential projects we manage.
We are looking for someone with the right professional foundation, judgment, communication skills, organization, and willingness to learn, rather than someone who necessarily already knows every aspect of the position.
As projects are transitioned in-house and our project volume continues to grow, we expect this role to expand in hours and responsibility, with the goal of developing into a full-time position for the right candidate.
This is an opportunity for someone who wants to grow with an innovative company and build a long-term career in residential development, construction, land use, and permitting.
