• Support permitting workflows by tracking submissions, responding to comments, and coordinating with stakeholders to move approvals forward
• Apply AI tools to accelerate planning, documentation, and decision-making, reducing manual effort and improving execution speed

• Sitting behind a dashboard passively tracking updates without intervening when timelines slip
• Managing projects only at a high level without understanding on-site realities and sequencing constraints
