Your ability to demonstrate an understanding of strategies to take advantage of current trends and adjust entitlement efforts accordingly will make you an asset to NVR's team.

  • Assist the Land Manager with transfer of the project entitlements to development partner/assignee to ensure seamless transition
  • Serve as a liaison and "area expert" for developer partners to help coordinate administrative and permitting issues that may arise, including coordination of platting processes.
  • Development of preliminary development budgets and timelines

Qualifications
  • 5+ years' experience in land entitlement or civil engineering project management
  • Bachelors Degree
