Summary Delta Oaks Group is seeking a Fiber Permitting Specialist to support fiber deployments including linear route permitting and point-site permitting for fiber facilities (e.g., huts, cabinets, handholes, splice locations, and related utility service coordination). This role focuses on jurisdictional research, permit strategy, application preparation, submittals, tracking, and agency coordination across multiple jurisdictions. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience working with local/state agencies, permit portals, navigating DOT/municipal ROW requirements, and coordinating with utilities and third-party stakeholders (including railroads where applicable) to keep schedules moving.

Responsibilities include but are not limited to:
- Identify and qualify prospective fiber routes and project locations through mapping tools, public records, and field reconnaissance, including parcel-level ownership research.
- Conduct detailed feasibility and constructability screening, evaluating ROW availability, access, restoration requirements, environmental constraints, and utility conflicts, including civil design considerations.
- Conduct jurisdictional research to determine permitting requirements for fiber routes and hut/cabinet sites, including forms, exhibits, fees, lead times, and review workflows.

- Coordinate and communicate with AHJs and stakeholders including Public Works, Engineering, Planning/Zoning, DOTs, railroads, utilities (power/pole owners), and other applicable authorities.
- Manage permit reviews: log comments, coordinate technical responses with engineers/design teams, and complete resubmittals through approval.
- Track all permit activity in project trackers (status, submittal dates, comments, resubmittals, approvals, conditions, expiration dates, and renewal needs).
- Support hut/cabinet permitting by researching and coordinating requirements related to setbacks, access, fencing, equipment pads, noise/visual considerations (as applicable), and utility service.
- Support special crossing packages/permits (railroad/highway/waterway) by assembling required exhibits, coordinating submittals, and tracking approvals.
- Maintain organized project files and ensure packages are complete, accurate, and client-ready (QA/QC before submittal).
- Provide clear reporting to project managers/clients on permitting progress, risks, and schedule impacts, with recommended mitigation options.
- Contribute to internal process improvement by maintaining reusable jurisdictional notes/templates, checklists, and standard permit package components for common agencies/portals.
