Land Entitlement Manager
About The Position
As a Land Entitlement Manager, your day-to-day work will focus on advancing projects through the entitlement stage after Land Investment Committee approval. This could entail pursuing site plan approvals, bonding, and governmental or environmental permitting. You will spend most of your time in the divisional office coordinating between the internal team, local governments, and our consulting and contractor trade partners to design, approve, and permit each individual neighborhood. You will attend meetings with other internal departments such as sales, purchasing, production, and architecture, to communicate planning and design assumptions that evolved and may affect other departments within the home selling and building process. On some projects, planning, design, and permitting activities require patience and perseverance while working with external partners and local governments to move the process forward. You will manage external consultants by compiling, executing, and recording legal deeds of subdivisions, easements, and the creation of neighborhood HOAs. Each day you will evaluate project costs for assigned tasks and manage parts of the overall development budgets for your assigned neighborhoods. Some days will take you out of the office to attend building industry association chapter meetings and municipal stakeholder meetings to establish positive working relationships with key industry trade partners and government staff to aid in the entitlement process. You will also learn more about the land development and homebuilding processes by interacting with your peers onsite in the field. By visiting active projects, you will increase your understanding of construction best practices, which can then be applied to forward planning and design of your future projects. Your ability to start new activities when needed and initiate meetings and relationships benefits you in this role.
