Permit Assistant

My ADU is a local and family business that utilizes over 30 years of building experience to design and develop quality custom homes with a variety of amenities and floor layouts in Vancouver and Clark County, WA. Over the past few years we have built a division of our business that focuses exclusively on Accessory Dwelling Units or "ADUs". See our website at:  for more information on our products.

Our company is well-positioned in a growing market, and this role is part of something we are building for the future.

The Permit Assistant supports the Company by preparing and submitting permit applications across multiple jurisdictions, coordinating required documentation and meetings, and keeping all parties updated as permits move through review. This is an in-office role with strong growth potential for someone eager to learn the residential design and permitting process in construction.

• Submittals are complete on the first pass (minimal rejections for missing items)

Clear opportunities to grow into a Design & Permitting Coordinator or within other departments as you gain multi-jurisdiction experience, deepen your plan-reading skills, and take on more complex submittals.

• Strong organization and attention to detail; comfortable managing many open items at once.
• Professional written and verbal communication; confident on the phone and in email
• Ability to learn jurisdiction processes and checklists quickly across multiple cities/counties
• Efficient in reviewing checklists, basic plan sets, and permit notes (training provided)
