About this position
Logistics & Permitting Coordinator
Role Overview
The Logistics & Permitting Coordinator is a foundational role at MRA, responsible for the "behind-the-scenes" legwork that makes our mobile tours possible. You will ensure our activations have a legal place to stand and the proper documentation to get there. This role requires a mix of research, administrative precision, and proactive communication with government agencies.
Key Responsibilities
- Site Vetting: Use Google Earth and other mapping tools to virtually scout locations, ensuring sites can accommodate large-scale tour assets (clearance, turning radii, and surface stability).
- Permit Acquisition: Research, apply for, and secure all necessary city, county, and state permits for tour stops across North America.
- Government Liaison: Act as the point of contact for municipal departments to navigate local ordinances and zoning requirements.
- Fleet Support: Assist the logistics team with truck registrations, IRP/IFTA paperwork, and maintaining organized vehicle files.
- Documentation: Maintain a centralized database of site maps, permit statuses, and contact logs for each tour location.
Required Qualifications:
- Tech Savvy: Proficiency with Google Earth Pro and the ability to interpret satellite imagery for logistics planning.
- Communication: Strong professional writing and verbal skills for negotiating with city officials.
- Detail-Oriented: A "check-it-twice" mindset, especially regarding legal paperwork and deadlines.
- Experience: Basic understanding of municipal permitting processes or logistics administration is a plus, but we are willing to train the right entry-level candidate.
- In-Person: This is a 100% in-person role based at our Madison Heights headquarters; candidates must be available to work from the office Monday through Friday (no remote or hybrid options).
At MRA, we move big ideas across the country. We are looking for a teammate who is as comfortable navigating a digital map as they are navigating a conversation with a city official. If you are a self-starter who takes pride in 'getting the green light,' we want to hear from you.
