Job description

Our Company
The U.S. construction permitting process is a black box. Over 500,000 forms and 20,000 processes, yet 95% of cities use the same building code. Every permitting delay costs businesses revenue, stalls expansion, and disrupts construction schedules.
Founded in 2022 by builders, entrepreneurs, and industry experts, GreenLite eliminates permitting uncertainty for developers nationwide.
We combine AI-powered technology with an in-house team of registered architects, engineers, and city planners to deliver the fastest, most predictable path to permit approval. Our expert-led compliance process ensures plans are code-ready before submission, reducing revisions, delays, and costs.
GreenLite has raised $86M in venture funding from leading investors including Insight Partners, Energize Capital, Craft Ventures, LiveOak Ventures, Trust Ventures, and Chicago Ventures. National brands, including Walgreens, TD Bank, and Driven Brands, trust us to accelerate approvals, reduce risk, and unlock growth.

    • Plan and Documentation Review:
      • Prepare and submit permit applications, including detailed project plans, environmental impact assessments, and other necessary paperwork.
      • Review plan packages for completeness and accuracy, organize compliance documentation, and ensure all materials are current, accurate, and properly filed.
      • Maintain project trackers, portals, and file systems, ensuring all documentation is organized, up-to-date, and easily accessible.
    • Jurisdiction and Client Coordination:
      • Interface with Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs) and client-side design teams to clarify and collect plan submission requirements.
      • Track and follow up on application status, proactively addressing any potential delays or issues.
      • Communicate with local governments and regulatory bodies to verify and stay informed about current zoning ordinances, building codes, and other regulatory requirements.
    • Submission Support:
      • Support the preparation and organization of plan packages and related documents for submission to local authorities.
      • Assist with permit filings, handle client communications regarding permit-related inquiries, and provide regular project updates to stakeholders.

  • Continuously monitor submitted applications and communicate timelines and estimated approval dates to ensure prompt processing and approval.
  • Contacting local jurisdictions to verify research and ensure that the client's project permitting process aligns with online information, including any additional forms or fees.
  • Maintain up-to-date, organized trackers/softwares/file storage systems that provide the latest permit submission information by collaborating with the GreenLite's Project Manager(s) and Review Lead(s).Supporting and executing project level requests as directed by the project manager.
