  • Minimum 3 years of experience in permitting, regulatory compliance, or right-of-way coordination—preferably with railroad or transportation infrastructure projects.
  • Working knowledge of railroad permitting processes and safety requirements.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Strong organizational abilities and attention to detail.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office and general project management tools.

Preferred:

  • Familiarity with FRA, DOT, or NEPA-related permitting and environmental documentation.
  • Experience with engineering or construction coordination.
