About This Job

Permit Agent – Electrical Utility Projects (Michigan-Based | W2 Role)

Secure the Permits. Navigate the Agencies. Power the Project.

At Halo Land Management

, we don’t just acquire land—we pave the way for progress. From rural corridors to protected lands, we’re trusted by utility companies to keep infrastructure projects moving forward with speed, accuracy, and compliance.

We’re seeking a

full-time W2 Permit Agent

with a strong track record of navigating the complex permitting landscape in

Michigan and beyond

. If you're a strategic communicator who knows how to earn approvals from tough agencies, juggle multiple deadlines, and read the fine print in regulatory frameworks—this is the role for you.

Whether you’re securing temporary workspace licenses or negotiating aviation clearances, you’ll be a key force in delivering major energy projects the right way.


🧭

What You’ll Do

As a Permit Agent at Halo, your job is to open the gates for construction, maintenance, and operations

—and keep them open. You'll work closely with utility clients, jurisdictional bodies, and internal stakeholders to secure all necessary approvals, licenses, and documentation.


Key responsibilities include:

Communicating and negotiating

with local, state, and federal agencies to secure permits for construction, access, temporary workspaces, and right-of-way use

Serving as the face of the company

in interactions with key permitting entities such as:

Road and drain commissions
Railroads and airport authorities
Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR)
Michigan Aeronautics Commission
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
U.S. Forest Service and National Park Service
Department of Defense (DOD)
Preparing and submitting permit applications

, insurance certificates, bond postings, and regulatory forms in line with client procedures

Reviewing and interpreting legal descriptions, site plans, and construction drawings

to inform permit applications

Tracking and managing multiple permitting timelines

while ensuring all jurisdictional requirements are met

Maintaining detailed records, correspondence, and overnight document submissions

to support audits and compliance


🧠

What You Bring

We’re looking for a well-rounded professional who understands both the big picture and the fine print. A successful candidate will have:

5+ years of experience

in the Right-of-Way, Permitting, or Real Estate industries

2+ years of dedicated experience

as a

Permit Agent or Zoning Specialist

in the utility or infrastructure space

Strong working knowledge

of Michigan permitting agencies, state and federal land use regulations, and utility policy

Excellent communication and relationship-building skills

, with the ability to represent clients professionally to high-level agency stakeholders

Exceptional organizational skills

and the ability to juggle multiple projects, jurisdictions, and timelines

Ability to read and interpret

legal descriptions, real estate documents, and technical construction drawings

Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite and cloud-based tracking tools


📆 A Day in the Life

You kick off the morning reviewing agency deadlines and checking the status of pending permit requests. After confirming insurance documentation and prepping an FAA application for an upcoming aerial line crossing, you hop on a call with the Michigan DNR to resolve a question about wetland access.

Later, you prepare a temporary workspace agreement for submission to a county road commission, confirm bond documentation has been posted, and finalize overnight shipping to a federal agency. Every permit cleared is a win—moving the project one step closer to construction.

Your day is full of nuance, deadlines, and negotiation—but you thrive in the details and love being the one who makes things happen.


Why Work With Halo?

. Our Permit Agents are trusted professionals, supported by a team that understands the demands of regulatory navigation and the importance of clear communication.
