Permitting Specialist (Remote — US Solar)

Remote · Full-time · US hours overlap

We are hiring on behalf of a US solar company.

Before a single panel goes on a roof, a US building department has to approve the plans. Thousands of jurisdictions, each with its own checklist, portal, and plan checker who will reject you over a setback. You'll be the person who knows how to get through them.

What you'll do

• Research AHJ requirements: submittal checklists, fees, portals, plan set standards, fire setbacks
• Assemble and submit permit packages through building department portals, SolarAPP+, and Symbium
• Coordinate with design/CAD on plan sets and with engineers on structural and stamped letters
• Handle plan check corrections and resubmittals until the permit is issued
• Schedule inspections, track outcomes, and turn around failed-inspection corrections quickly
• Own permit fees, expirations, and revisions across the pipeline
• Build and maintain the AHJ requirements database

What we're looking for

• 1–3 years in US solar permitting, submitting to AHJs directly
• Working knowledge of NEC (2017/2020/2023), IRC/IBC, and PV fire setback requirements
• Ability to read a plan set and anticipate what a plan checker will flag
• Written and spoken English sufficient for calls with permit technicians
• Availability that overlaps meaningfully with US business hours

Bonus points

• Depth in a specific state (California, Texas, Florida, Arizona)
• SolarAPP+ automated permitting
• Aurora, OpenSolar, or basic AutoCAD literacy

What's offered

• $2,000–2,300 gross per month
• 20 days of vacation + religious holidays
• Fully remote, long-term engagement
• A role where speed and precision show up directly in the numbers
