Brownfield Redevelopment Coordinator

A typical week often blends document chasing, meeting calendars, and milestone tracking — pulling Phase II reports from consultants, prepping cleanup plans for state review, keeping funders informed. You might find yourself on a site one morning and in a city planning hearing that afternoon. Throughput tends to be measured in submittals cleared and timelines held.

The harder part is often how much depends on people who don't report to you — agency case managers, contractors, attorneys. You're nudging without authority, which takes a particular touch. Employer variance can be sharp: at consulting firms you'll run several smaller sites in parallel; at developers or municipalities, you may shepherd one large redevelopment for years.

People who tend to thrive here carry a steady tolerance for paperwork and a knack for keeping many threads warm at once. Field comfort helps — boots and a clipboard show up more than the title suggests. The trade-off is slow visible payoff: years can pass between a kickoff meeting and a ribbon cutting.
