A day in the life of a Land Entitlement Manager

Responsibilities

As a Land Entitlement Manager, your day-to-day work will focus on advancing projects through the entitlement stage after Land Investment Committee approval. This could include pursuing site plan approvals, bonding, and governmental or environmental permitting. You will spend most of your time in the divisional office coordinating between the internal team, local governments, and our consulting and contractor trade partners to design, approve, and permit each individual neighborhood. You will attend meetings with other internal departments such as sales, purchasing, production, and architecture to communicate planning and design assumptions that evolved and may affect other departments within the home selling and building process. On some projects, planning, design, and permitting activities may require patience and perseverance while working with external partners and local governments to move the process forward. You will manage external consultants by compiling, executing, and recording legal deeds of subdivisions, easements, and creation of neighborhood HOAs. Each day you evaluate project costs for tasks you are assigned and manage parts of the overall development budgets for your assigned neighborhoods. Some days may require attending industry association chapter meetings and municipal stakeholder meetings to establish positive working relationships with key industry trade partners and government staff to aid the entitlement process. You will also learn about land development and homebuilding processes by interacting with peers onsite in the field. By visiting active projects, you will increase your understanding of construction best practices to apply to forward planning and design of future projects. Your ability to start new activities when needed and initiate meetings and relationships will benefit you in this role.
