Permitting & Pre-Construction Manager (Full Time, Florida)

About this job

Are you a permitting and pre-construction specialist who knows how to push a package through a municipality and set a job up cleanly from day one? Our Naples-based client, a faith-forward luxury custom home builder, is looking for a Permitting & Pre-Construction Manager to own everything that happens before the first nail is driven. This is a full-time, long-term opportunity working directly with ownership and the Project Manager on high-end residential projects. For this opportunity you should be available during Eastern Standard Time (EST). Apply today!

BetterPros unlocks human potential by offering competitive compensation, flexibility, constant learning and growth, and the chance to work anywhere you want with one of our +130 active clients across the United States.

What you will do

  • Submit, track, and manage all permits through Collier County and the City of Naples, from application through approval.
  • Coordinate with engineers, architects, and municipal departments to resolve comments and keep permits moving.
  • Create and manage all purchase orders and subcontractor agreements.
  • Solicit bids, negotiate pricing, and award subcontracts in coordination with the Project Manager.
  • Track all customer selections and make sure specs are locked before construction begins.
  • Review and approve vendor invoices before they go to billing.
  • Maintain subcontractor compliance: licenses, insurance, and signed agreements on file before any work starts. No exceptions.
  • Coordinate all pre-construction meetings, timelines, and deliverables.
  • Manage all job setup in Buildertrend from day one.
  • Act as a key partner to ownership and the PM, keeping every project set up for success before it breaks ground.

What you'll need to know

  • Proven experience in permitting, pre-construction, or construction administration.
  • Hands-on experience with residential luxury custom home projects.
  • Strong proficiency with Buildertrend.
  • Proficiency with Google Drive and Google Suite.
  • Solid experience managing purchase orders, subcontractor agreements, and vendor compliance documentation.
  • Familiarity with U.S. permitting processes and direct coordination with municipal departments (Collier County or City of Naples experience is highly valued).
  • Advanced English level.
  • Proficiency with CAD is not required, but it is a strong plus.
  • High level of autonomy and organization. You don’t wait to be told, you anticipate what’s needed and get ahead of it.
  • Clear communication, thorough documentation, and the confidence to hold vendors and subs accountable without being asked.
  • Commitment to the highest standards of craftsmanship, integrity, and accountability.
