About York

At York, we are bold, fast, and relentlessly focused on what matters: our clients.

While others get lost in bureaucracy and outdated thinking, we cut through the noise. We challenge the status quo, move with urgency, and make decisions that serve our clients, not just our bottom line. We take full ownership, work together to solve complicated problems, and execute - no excuses, no shortcuts.

This is not the place for complacency. Our team thrives in a high-performance, no-BS environment - we are a group of high performers who think critically, move fast, and follow through. The success of our business depends on the willingness of our team to ditch antiquated ways of operating and adapt new methods for achieving excellent results.

This is how we work. This is how we win.

Reports to: Vice President, Operations

Prepare and submit development, building and trade permit applications with the required drawings, forms, and supporting documents.
Act as the primary point of contact with municipalities, utility providers, insurers and brokers on behalf of the project team
Create and maintain project files and records, including contracts, permits, insurance records, utility applications, correspondence, installations, drawings, and project progress.
Ensure document control procedures are followed and continually improved.
Attend project meetings, take and distribute minutes, and report on the status of permits, utility applications and insurance compliance.
Organize project close-out by preparing warranty packages and requirements, collecting warranties and O&M manuals, obtaining final permit signoffs and occupancy documentation, transferring utility accounts, creating turnover documents and archiving documentation.
Provide general and cross-departmental administrative support as required, such as organizing meetings, handling correspondence, and maintaining company records, licenses and corporate insurance policies.

Experience managing permit applications and inspections would be considered an asset.
