At Horrocks, we believe the best work comes from companies with strong values, that our people are our greatest resource, and that we have a responsibility to the communities where we live and work. Join our team and play a key role in expanding broadband access and digital connectivity across communities.
As a Permitting Coordinator, you will support the deployment of fiber-optic and wireless infrastructure projects by ensuring permitting activities are completed accurately and efficiently, in alignment with construction schedules.

What are the core responsibilities for the role?
  • Research and interpret municipal, state, federal, railroad, canal, and waterway regulations applicable to telecom and utility infrastructure projects
  • Prepare, submit, and track permit applications for fiber optic networks, small cell deployments, conduit systems, and related telecom infrastructure
  • Coordinate with local jurisdictions, Departments of Transportation (DOTs), utility companies, railroad agencies, and other permitting authorities to obtain approvals and maintain compliance
  • Respond to Requests for Information (RFIs), revision comments, and agency feedback in a timely and professional manner
  • Participate in planning, coordination, and pre-construction meetings as needed
  • Monitor permit status and proactively track timelines to support engineering and construction schedules
  • Identify permitting risks early and escalate issues to prevent project delays
  • Support project schedules, budgets, and deliverables by tracking permitting milestones and dependencies
  • Serve as a liaison between engineering teams, field operations, contractors, and permitting agencies to resolve compliance and scheduling issues efficiently
  • Maintain accurate, organized, and audit-ready records of all permitting activities, approvals, and correspondence
  • Manage incoming and outgoing project documentation from internal teams and external stakeholders
  • Support the preparation of complete, high-quality, and compliant permit submittals
  • Maintain strong document management practices to ensure records are accessible, current, and accurate
  • Review and interpret engineering plan sets, as-builts, and technical specifications to support permit applications
  • Collaborate closely with engineering teams to verify designs meet jurisdictional requirements
  • Support telecom infrastructure design efforts, including fiber routing and conduit pathway coordination where applicable
  • Utilize design and mapping tools to review, interpret, and adjust plan sets as needed
  • Permit applications submitted accurately and efficiently with minimal revisions
  • Clear, organized documentation that supports compliance and audit readiness
  • Effective coordination between internal teams and external agencies
  • Proactive communication that prevents permitting-related construction delays
  • Reliable management of permitting schedules, milestones, and project deliverables

We invest in your success by providing:
  • Training in telecom permitting processes and regulatory requirements
  • Exposure to broadband infrastructure deployment and fiber network design
  • Opportunities for career growth into advanced permitting, project management, engineering support, or telecom infrastructure roles

Qualifications, Skills, and Competencies:
  • 0-3 years of experience in permitting, telecommunications, utilities, construction, engineering support, or a related field OR relevant internship/educational experience
  • Ability to read and interpret technical documents, engineering and construction plan sets

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Ability to manage multiple projects, priorities, and deadlines in a fast-paced environment
  • Working knowledge of Microsoft Office Suite
  • Preferred experience coordinating with municipalities, DOTs, utility providers, railroads, or regulatory agencies
  • Preferred Exposure to broadband, fiber optic, telecom, or utility infrastructure projects
  • Familiarity with permitting systems, construction documentation, or utility coordination processes
  • Preferred Experience with design and GIS tools such as AutoCAD (Civil 3D), MicroStation, Google Earth, or Esri products
  • Preferred understanding telecom permitting workflows and construction documentation processes
  • Proactive problem-solving skills with the ability to identify challenges early and develop practical solutions
