What does a permit expeditor do?

As a permit expeditor, you prepare and submit permit applications for clients’ construction projects. You navigate the application and permit process by investigating city planning department guidelines, submitting paperwork properly and on time, and keep clients apprised of their application status. Your responsibilities include researching city planning and zoning codes, compiling reports and documentation, and transporting time-sensitive documents. Your duties involve tracking applications, following specific processes for both hard copy and electronic documents, and performing administrative and follow-up tasks as necessary. You educate prospective and existing clients on regulations and codes relevant to their projects and provide solutions to potential permitting challenges.
