annexations, and related approvals.
• Coordinate with city, county, state, and federal agencies to ensure projects remain compliant and on
schedule.
• Prepare and present proposals to planning commissions, councils, public agencies, and community
groups.
• Monitor evolving land use and environmental regulations that may impact project timelines or
viability.
COORDINATE PLANNING, DESIGN & INFRASTRUCTURE
• Partner with civil engineers, architects, planners, and landscape architects to develop thoughtful,
high-quality site plans.
• Review grading plans, utility layouts, traffic studies, environmental reports, and infrastructure
coordination efforts.
• Ensure projects align with community expectations, operational goals, and long-term master
planning initiatives.
MANAGE PROJECTS & CONSULTANT TEAMS
• Build and maintain development schedules, budgets, and milestone tracking across multiple active
projects.
• Lead coordination with external consultants including engineers, surveyors, environmental specialists,
and legal partners.
• Identify risks early and proactively solve issues that could affect budget, timing, or approvals.
