  • Experience working with municipal permitting and inspections in New Jersey.
  • Familiarity with residential low-voltage outdoor lighting systems preferred.
  • Ability to work independently and communicate effectively with inspectors and homeowners.

Compensation

  • Distance of AHJ office and/or client property from contractor place of business
  • Amount of time required for final inspection

Flat Fee could range from $150-$350 for single household residential projects.  Fee to be negotiated for larger commercial projects.

Ideal Candidate

We are seeking an electrical contractor who already performs permit-only, permit management, or inspection coordination services and is interested in developing an ongoing referral relationship with a growing outdoor lighting company.
