Salary benchmarks across the 14 mission-critical disciplines.
Hire Permit Coordinators who keep the permit matrix ahead of the schedule — building and trade permits, AHJ submittals, utility interconnection paperwork, inspection scheduling, and expediting. Verified track record moving entitlements and permits through municipalities without stalling mobilization or energization.
A structured process for the hire that stands between your schedule and the AHJ — where a missed permit milestone means a crew standing down or a substation waiting on paperwork.
30-minute call. Align on jurisdictions, permit scope (building, trade, utility, environmental), program cadence, and start date.
Within 2 weeks we introduce 3–5 Permit Coordinators with jurisdiction-relevant, sector-matched permitting history. References from prior PMs and AHJ-facing leads included.
Every placement carries a replacement guarantee. If the hire fails within the warranty window, we run a no-fee replacement search.
Permitting is relationship work backed by tracking discipline. We verify both: the candidate’s history working actual jurisdictions and reviewers, and the matrix rigor that keeps 40 open permits from becoming 4 surprises.
Reference-verified submittal, resubmittal, and reviewer-comment management with real jurisdictions — not just internal permit logging.
Verified multi-permit tracking across building, trade, fire, environmental, and utility scopes, tied to schedule milestones and mobilization dates.
Reference-verified inspection scheduling, deficiency-correction tracking, and certificate-of-occupancy / final-sign-off discipline through closeout.
Reference-verified history with municipal, county, and state AHJs relevant to your program footprint.
Verified tracking discipline across dozens of concurrent permits, tied to schedule and mobilization dates.
Verified coordination on utility service, interconnection, and energization documentation where programs demand it.
Reference-verified inspection cadence management and deficiency-correction follow-through.
Verified escalation instincts — when to use expediters, when to walk a package in, when to escalate to the PM.
Permit Coordinator and Senior-level comp bands aligned before finalists are introduced.
Permitting a hyperscale campus is a different job than permitting a hospital renovation. Below are the specializations we recruit for:
We’ll help scope the role on the call — jurisdictions, permit scope, and schedule pressure points.
Time to shortlist is typically 2 weeks from scoping call. Total time to placement is typically 3–4 weeks. Pre-mobilization deadlines can be prioritized.
Pricing depends on engagement model. Per-role recruiting is a defined fee. Embedded is a monthly retainer — usually the right model when you’re staffing several support roles at once.
In most US markets, Permit Coordinators earn roughly $60k–$95k base. Senior coordinators running permitting across a multi-site or hyperscale program typically land $95k–$120k. Jurisdiction complexity and travel move the band.
We match on jurisdiction type and regulatory regime — and where possible, direct history with your AHJs. A coordinator who has moved packages through your county’s review cycle is worth a schedule week; we screen for exactly that.
A Permit Coordinator owns the external approval path — AHJ submittals, inspections, and utility paperwork. A Project Coordinator owns internal project workflow: RFIs, submittals, meetings, and closeout support. Large programs staff both.
Yes. Every Permit Coordinator placement carries a replacement guarantee. Guarantee terms are confirmed in writing at engagement start.
Yes. Multi-hire builds (permit, procurement, and project coordinators plus administrators) route through embedded recruiting or RPO.
30-minute scoping conversation. We’ll review the Permit Coordinator role you need, jurisdictions, permit scope, and schedule pressure — then start sourcing.
