Overview
This position serves as a Permitting Coordinator in the Permitting

helps ensure proposed work meets VTrans requirements.
This role focuses on reviewing, preparing, and processing routine
highway permits for non-Agency related projects. You will work with
property owners, businesses, municipalities, utility companies,
consultant engineers, and VTrans staff to review applications and plans,
gather information, prepare permits for issuance, answer questions, and
keep permits moving through the process. The work includes reviewing

We are looking for someone who is organized, detail-oriented, and
comfortable communicating clearly with a variety of people in person, by
phone, and in writing. The ability to review plans and documents, manage
multiple assignments and deadlines, communicate requirements clearly,
and work both in the office and in the field is important. Experience in
permitting, transportation engineering, construction, or land
development is helpful.
