Logistics & Permitting Coordinator at Mobility Resource Associates Inc – Madison Heights, Michigan

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.
