About the Role Lars Andersen & Associates is seeking an organized, proactive Site Development Coordinator to guide commercial development projects from preliminary site review and due diligence through entitlement approval and design-team handoff. This person will serve as the central point of coordination among the client, internal team, governmental agencies, and specialty consultants, keeping decisions, deliverables, risks, and deadlines moving across multiple projects. Key Responsibilities Coordinate preliminary site feasibility and due diligence, including zoning and land-use requirements, site access and circulation, utilities, drainage, floodplain and environmental constraints, title and survey matters, easements, development standards, and agency approval pathways.

Research and confirm entitlement, permitting, public-notice, and submittal requirements; coordinate pre-application meetings and agency reviews; maintain complete records of correspondence, comments, approvals, and commitments. Prepare and coordinate applications and supporting materials for site plan review, variances, conditional or special use permits, planned unit developments, rezoning, platting, design review, and other location-specific approvals. Attend governmental staff meetings, neighborhood meetings, planning commission and governing-body hearings, and other public proceedings as required; coordinate presentation materials and consultant testimony. Travel is Required. Review consultant scopes, proposals, schedules, and deliverables for completeness and alignment with project objectives; identify gaps, conflicts, long-lead approvals, and emerging risks early and recommend practical next steps. Provide concise ongoing project summaries and conduct twice-monthly client status meetings covering progress, decisions, agency and consultant dependencies, upcoming deadlines, budget or scope concerns, and recovery plans for delayed items. Qualifications Bachelor's degree in civil engineering, urban planning, architecture, construction management, real estate development, or a related field preferred; equivalent relevant experience will be considered.
