Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Coordinate and conduct environmental impact analyses and prepare regulatory submissions to secure approvals for real estate, transportation, and energy projects. Act as a liaison between clients and regulators to navigate the entitlement permitting process and refine project designs.
Requires 5-8 years of professional experience in planning or permitting with a bachelor's degree in a related field, though a master's is preferred. Candidates should have strong technical writing skills and familiarity with Massachusetts environmental and land use regulatory frameworks.
Development Permitting Specialist - Environmental Planning Team | Boston/Watertown, MA (Hybrid)
VHB's Environmental Planning Team contracts with private, institutional, and public sector developer clients to navigate the entitlement permitting process for real estate, transportation, energy, and aviation projects. We coordinate and conduct environmental impact analyses, prepare regulatory submissions, and shepherd projects through the public review process — working directly with regulators to refine project design to address environmental and community impacts, demonstrate compliance, and secure the approvals needed to advance to final design and technical permitting.
The entitlement process is a pivotal stage of a development project: it is where projects are shaped, scrutinized, and ultimately validated against the laws and community expectations that govern how land gets used and how places get built. Our team members sit at that intersection — translating complex regulatory requirements for clients, advocating for projects before regulators, and finding the path forward when the two do not immediately align.
The projects we work on become buildings, transit systems, and infrastructure that define how communities grow and function — and we have a meaningful opportunity to influence that outcome for the better. It also provides an opportunity to work closely with an interdisciplinary project team of design professionals, including urban designers, building architects, landscape architects, civil engineers, transportation planners, sustainable design consultants, climate change resiliency planners, and energy modelers.
Responsibilities
This position offers both breadth and depth — a window into all aspects of land development alongside the opportunity to specialize in areas that match your professional interests, whether that's sustainability, energy, climate resiliency, housing, multi-modal transportation, campus planning, policy and regulations, or something else entirely. Our team invests in its people: expect a clear path for career development, active knowledge sharing, and genuine support for where you want to take your career.
You will also build a professional network that few roles in this field can match. This work puts you in regular contact with:
Skills and Qualifications
Successful team members bring a combination of technical knowledge, communication ability, and project management instincts. We are looking for candidates who have, or are actively building, the following:
Technical Knowledge

Judgment and Problem-Solving
Areas of Particular Interest (Preferred but Not Required)
Qualifications
Our best estimate of the salary range for this position located in Boston/Watertown, MA is $100,000 -120,000. The final compensation will be based on a variety of factors such as individual qualifications, education, and experience.
Our people make the difference. We foster a technology-empowered, people‑driven, future‑ready culture where agility, innovation, and collaboration shape how we work every day.
We’re growing across the East Coast and are consistently recognized as a great place to work. Ready to shape what’s next? Learn more about what sets our employee experience apart and connect with us.
