Your role

The Permit Case Manager will play a critical role in accelerating the permitting process for our fast-charging station network. This position requires a proactive and adaptable individual who can effectively navigate complex regulatory environments and build strong relationships with diverse stakeholders, including municipalities, permitting authorities, residents, and internal teams. The primary goal is to streamline the permitting process, ensuring timely approvals and minimizing delays.

Key responsibilities:

• Oversee and optimize the permitting process for new fast-charging stations and shops, ensuring accuracy, completeness, and compliance with all applicable regulations.

• Monitor permit status, identify potential roadblocks, and work proactively to maintain progress, ensuring accurate records are kept for all permitting activities and communications.

• Research and interpret local ordinances, zoning laws, and environmental requirements relevant to each site.

• Serve as the primary point of contact for external stakeholders—including municipalities, permitting authorities, and community members—while building strong relationships, addressing concerns proactively, and helping to resolve issues early to prevent permit appeals.

• Collaborate closely with internal teams (Network Development, Location Design, Construction Management and Public Affairs) to align plans and timelines.
