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
