What does a permit coordinator do?

A permit coordinator works with a design team in the construction industry to ensure projects stay on track by lining up permits and expediting the permit process for all parties. As a coordinator, you help clients obtain building permits, permits for a structure to be altered, or whatever regulatory permits are required for their project. You may work with engineers, architects, and design staff to ensure permit applications contain every required item in order to avoid costly delays in the review process. You obtain documentation from relevant departments and review them to ensure project paperwork is ready to submit to the reviewing agency for approval.
