Serve as the primary liaison with public and private utility providers (power, water, sewer, gas, fiber).

Ensure a smooth transition of fully entitled projects to the vertical construction team, providing all necessary documentation and background.

Who You Are

A minimum of 5-7 years of direct experience in land entitlement, civil engineering, and/or land use planning, with a proven track record of successfully entitling large-scale commercial or industrial projects.

Deep understanding of the land entitlement process, zoning and subdivision codes and processes, comprehensive plans, and infrastructure development. Experience working with utility providers and navigating regulatory energy frameworks is a significant asset.

Strong project management skills with the ability to manage multiple complex projects simultaneously, prioritize tasks, and meet critical deadlines.

Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to effectively negotiate and present complex technical information to a variety of stakeholders, including government officials and community members.

A proactive, solutions-oriented mindset with the ability to anticipate potential issues, develop creative solutions, and make decisive judgments to keep projects on track.
