RemoteFull-TimeU.S. business hours

You do NOT need any background in permitting, construction, architecture or planning. Full training on the processes, terminology and requirements is provided, and the company says outright that prior expediting experience is not required. If you have run projects, coordinated between people, or held deadlines in any professional setting, you can do this work. What the role does need is ownership. This is explicitly not a task-checklist job. Nobody will hand you a list each morning - you review your projects, work out what each one is waiting on, and chase it. Most of what you chase sits with someone else: a surveyor, an engineer, an attorney, or the client. Getting it in takes persistent follow-up and the judgement to know when a reminder should become a phone call. The candidate profile asks for someone persistent without being difficult, who follows through relentlessly and naturally asks what needs to happen next. If you prefer clear instructions and a defined task list, this role is likely not a fit.

Own a portfolio of permit applications end to end for a U.S. permit expediting service - tracking deadlines, chasing deliverables from surveyors, engineers and attorneys, and keeping every project moving. No permitting background required, training provided.

About this role

This is a coordination and ownership role for a company that handles permit applications on behalf of its clients in the United States. You will take assigned projects from start to finish and be the person responsible for making sure they move. In practice that means reviewing every active project daily, knowing which deadlines are close, and knowing what each one is waiting on. Most of what a project waits on comes from someone else - a surveyor, an engineer, an attorney, a wetland professional, or the client themselves. Getting those deliverables in is the job, and it takes persistence: knowing who to chase, how to chase them, and when a polite reminder should become a phone call or an escalation. You will manage incoming communications, decide the right follow-up method based on urgency and who you are dealing with, review incoming documents for obvious problems, and keep project records accurate. This is explicitly not a task-checklist role. Nobody hands you a list. You work out what needs to happen next and you make it happen. You do not need any background in permitting, construction or planning - full training on processes, terminology and requirements is provided. What matters is that you take ownership without being supervised, follow through relentlessly, and stay professional with everyone you deal with. This is a fully remote position for a candidate based in the Philippines, working U.S. business hours.

What you’ll do

  • Take full ownership of assigned projects from start to finish
  • Review all active projects daily and track timelines and critical deadlines
  • Coordinate with clients, surveyors, engineers, attorneys, wetland professionals and other external parties to get deliverables in
  • Manage incoming communications and decide the right follow-up method based on urgency and who is involved
  • Follow up persistently on outstanding items and escalate when necessary
  • Monitor project status actively and identify potential delays early
  • Review incoming documents for obvious issues
  • Maintain accurate project records
  • Coordinate communication between internal team members and outside professionals

What we’re looking for

  • Strong organizational and time-management skills
  • Strong follow-up and coordination abilities
  • Able to manage multiple projects and deadlines at the same time
  • A high level of ownership and accountability
  • Quick learner - able to absorb new processes and terminology rapidly
  • Proactive project monitoring and status tracking
  • Excellent written and verbal English communication
  • Attention to detail
  • Problem-solving and critical-thinking skills
  • Able to work independently
  • A professional and confident communication style
  • Persistent follow-up with clients and external stakeholders

Nice to have

  • Previous experience in project management, coordination or administration
  • Experience in construction, architecture, engineering or permitting
  • Experience managing deadlines across several concurrent projects
  • Experience communicating with clients and external consultants
  • Familiarity with permitting, Planning Boards or regulatory approvals
  • Experience reviewing technical documents or reports
