Permitting Coordinator

Remote Raven is recruiting a full-time, fully remote Permitting Coordinator on behalf of our client, a fast-growing US roofing and exteriors group that runs a family of regional brands across the Eastern and Central United States. The group operates a portfolio of regional roofing brands and completes a high volume of residential and commercial roofing work every year, all of which is regulated at city, county and state level.

The Permitting Coordinator owns the full lifecycle of permit acquisition and compliance across every one of the group's branded entities. You are the central liaison between municipalities, internal teams, homeowners and contractors, and you are responsible for making sure every project meets local, county and state regulatory requirements. You maintain the records, you make the inspections happen on time, and you provide the administrative and operational backbone of permitting across new installations, repairs and warranty work.

This is a role of consequence rather than volume alone. A permit that lapses before its final inspection creates a compliance problem for the brand and a property-record problem for the homeowner, and it does so silently. The person who succeeds here is the one who treats an open permit as unfinished business until the day it is closed.

Key Responsibilities

Permit Application & Expediting

• Prepare, apply for, and expedite permit applications for roofing projects across all of the group's branded entities.
• Identify the correct permitting authority for each project address, including the distinction between an incorporated city and the unincorporated county surrounding it.
• Assemble complete application packets: scope of work, project documentation, contractor license and registration details, certificates of insurance, and bonds where the jurisdiction requires them.
• Submit applications through each jurisdiction's channel, whether that is an online portal, an email intake address, or a phone-and-fax counter.
• Push stalled applications forward: follow up on review times, answer plan-reviewer questions, and resolve corrections and resubmittals.

Tracking, Renewals & Inspections

• Maintain a comprehensive tracking system covering every open permit across every brand and jurisdiction, with status, dates, fees, and next action visible at a glance.
• Ensure timely renewals so that no permit lapses while a job is still open.
• Schedule and confirm final inspections, and confirm every inspection requirement is completed before the permit expires.
• Track failed inspections through to a passed re-inspection, including routing correction notices to the right project manager and rescheduling.
