Job Title: Permit Specialist

Company: Mister Sparky Mid-America
Location: Lowell, AR (In-Office Position)
Job Type: Full-Time
Schedule: Monday – Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Compensation: $15.00 - $18.00/Hour Incentive Opportunities

About the Role
Mister Sparky Mid-America is currently experiencing explosive growth, aggressively expanding our footprint and customer base across the region. As our volume of work scales, so does the complexity of our logistics. We are seeking a proactive and process-driven Permit Specialist to join our team at our Lowell, AR headquarters to help manage this surge.
In this critical in-office role, you will own the administrative lifecycle of our electrical projects. As we grow, your primary objective is to create stability and eliminate confusion. Through a rigid "bulletproof" communication process, you will ensure that permits, inspections, and power downs are executed without error, and that every stakeholder knows exactly where they stand, every single week.
Key Responsibilities
1. Permit & Inspection Coordination
You will be the logistical engine behind our installation teams, ensuring that paperwork never slows down our rapid pace of business.
  • Pulling Permits: Accurately prepare, submit, and acquire electrical permits for all municipalities in our expanding service territory.
  • Code Compliance: Maintain a detailed "cheat sheet" of specific requirements for each city to ensure zero rejected applications, keeping our project pipeline moving efficiently.
  • Logistics & Scheduling: Act as the logistical lead, coordinating with city officials and utility companies to schedule final inspections and power disconnects/reconnects immediately upon job completion.

2. Bulletproof Communication (The Weekly Cycle)
  • The "No-Wonder" Policy: You are responsible for ensuring that zero customers call in asking, "What is going on with my permit?" You must beat them to the punch every time.
  • Weekly Pipeline Audit: Every week, you must review every open permit and active job file to ensure nothing falls through the cracks during this period of high growth.
  • Mandatory Weekly Touchpoints:
  • To Customers: Send a weekly status update (via phone, text, or email) to every customer with an open permit—even if the status is "waiting on the city"—so they know they haven't been forgotten.
  • To Electricians: Distribute a weekly schedule of upcoming power downs and inspections so the field team can plan their availability.
  • Closing the Loop: Verify that all inspections are passed, paperwork is filed, and the customer is officially closed out in our system.

3. General Support
  • Additional Duties: Perform additional duties and responsibilities as assigned by management to support the evolving needs of the department and the company.
Qualifications & Requirements
  • Schedule & Location: This is an in-office role based in Lowell, AR. You must be available to work Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
  • Experience: Experience in permitting, dispatching, or administrative project management is preferred.
  • Mindset: You must be "persistently pleasant." You will need to follow up with slow-moving government offices without losing your cool to get results for our customers.
  • Organization: The ability to manage a high volume of open files simultaneously without letting a single detail slip is essential as our project count increases.
  • Tech Savvy: Proficient with computer systems, CRM software, and online government portals.
Compensation & Benefits
  • Base Pay: $15.00 - $18.00 per hour, depending on experience.
  • Incentive Compensation: We offer performance-based incentives on top of your hourly wage. Successful candidates who efficiently manage the permit pipeline, reduce cycle times, and maintain high customer satisfaction scores have the opportunity to increase their overall earnings.
  • Benefits: 401(k), dental, vision, health insurance, paid time off and family days.
Why Join Mister Sparky Mid-America?
  • Rocket Ship Trajectory: We are not stagnant. Join a company that is rapidly scaling, offering you the excitement of a fast-paced environment.
  • Stability: Be part of a trusted national brand with deep local roots.
  • Impact: Your organizational skills directly improve our customer satisfaction scores and allow our electricians to focus on what they do best.
Culture: A supportive, goal-oriented office environment where high performance is recognized and rewarded.
Compensation: $15.00 - $18.00 per hour

We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
