About the role
The Permitting & Compliance Manager owns the permitting, regulatory, and compliance pathway for every new SparkCharge site launch - from initial jurisdictional research through final permit approval and inspection sign-off. This role ensures that fuel storage, equipment operation, electrical work, and mobile charging infrastructure at each site meet all local, state, and federal requirements, while keeping permitting from becoming a bottleneck to go-live timelines.
What you'll do
Permitting Strategy & Execution
  • Determine permitting requirements for each new site based on location, equipment specs, and site type
  • Own the permitting timeline as a formal workstream inside the New Site Launch Playbook (Phase 1C), including submission dates, expected approval dates, and risk flags
  • Build and maintain a jurisdiction database (by state/county/city) covering permit types, timelines, fees, and known friction points to speed up future site launches
  • Manage relationships with local Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs), fire marshals, and inspectors

Cross-Functional Coordination
  • Sit inside the Phase 1 Scope & Site Design process as the accountable owner for permitting status, flagging risks before they threaten the go-live date

Compliance Program Ownership
  • Maintain a permitting/compliance status tracker across all active and upcoming site launches (visible to Implementation and Ops leadership)
  • Build repeatable permitting checklists and templates by site type and jurisdiction to reduce rework
  • Own audit-readiness: ensure every launched site has a complete, retrievable compliance file (permits, waivers, approvals, inspection records)

Continuous Improvement
  • Identify permitting bottlenecks by jurisdiction or fuel type and recommend process, vendor, or documentation changes to reduce average permitting cycle time
  • Partner with Legal on evolving regulations that could affect site design or timelines

Required Qualifications
  • 4+ years of experience in permitting, regulatory compliance, or code compliance - ideally in energy, construction, fuel/equipment, telecom, or infrastructure deployment
  • Working knowledge of fire codes, and equipment/electrical permitting requirements
  • Experience managing multiple jurisdictions simultaneously with different requirements and timelines
  • Strong project management skills - able to track multiple concurrent permitting workstreams without dropping details
  • Comfortable working directly with AHJs, inspectors, and fire marshals
  • Excellent written documentation skills - this role produces compliance records that must hold up to audit or legal scrutiny
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience in EV charging, mobile power, distributed energy, or fleet infrastructure
  • Experience working in a fast-scaling, deployment-heavy operating environment (vs. traditional slow-moving construction permitting)
  • Background working cross-functionally with Implementation/PM teams on hard launch-date deadlines

The pay range for this role is:
110,000 - 125,000 USD per year (Somerville)
