Development Coordinator
Altair Developments | Atlanta, GA
30–40 Hours/Week | Entry Level
About Altair Developments
Altair Developments is an Atlanta-based residential development and homebuilding company focused on creating thoughtfully designed, high-quality homes and communities throughout Metro Atlanta.
We are a growing, hands-on company, which means no two days look exactly the same. We are looking for a motivated, resourceful, and dependable person to work directly with our team and assist across development, construction, permitting, marketing, and day-to-day operations.
This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to learn the real estate development industry from the ground up. You may be a recent graduate, someone looking to make a career change, or simply a motivated self-starter who has always had an interest in real estate but hasn't had the opportunity to get into the industry.
We're much more interested in finding the right person with the right attitude than someone with a specific resume or career background.
What You'll Do
Permitting & Municipal Coordination
Assist with building permits and other development-related applications
Follow up with cities, counties, inspectors, utilities, and permitting departments
Visit permitting offices and other government offices in person when needed to submit documents, follow up on permits, resolve outstanding items, and help keep projects moving
Track permit status, comments, approvals, and outstanding requirements
Help coordinate documents and information needed for approvals
Make calls, send emails, and stay on top of municipalities until items are completed
Construction & Project Support
Visit active construction sites and provide updates to the team
Help coordinate with contractors, vendors, suppliers, utilities, and other project partners
Track project schedules, open items, and deadlines
Help maintain project information, budgets, documents, photos, and updates in our internal systems
Assist with miscellaneous issues that come up during construction and help find solutions
Land & Development
Research potential properties and development opportunities
Review basic zoning, lot dimensions, setbacks, property records, and development requirements
Help determine whether properties may work for Altair's home plans
Visit potential properties and development sites throughout Metro Atlanta
Assist with due diligence and maintain organized information on potential acquisitions
Marketing & Sales Support
Help create and coordinate social media and marketing content
Take photos and videos of projects and construction progress
Help update project websites, listings, signs, and marketing materials
Coordinate with Realtors, designers, photographers, sign companies, and other marketing vendors
Assist with community launches, open houses, and other sales initiatives
General Operations
Work directly with Altair's ownership team on day-to-day priorities
Help keep projects and administrative tasks organized
Research vendors, products, properties, municipalities, and other items as needed
Assist with Smartsheet and other internal project-management systems
Take ownership of miscellaneous projects that don't necessarily fall neatly into one category
Be willing to jump in and help wherever needed as the company grows
Who We're Looking For
You do not need to come from the real estate or construction industry to be successful in this role.
You might be:
A recent graduate looking for your first real opportunity
Someone looking to change careers and break into real estate
Someone currently working in another industry who has always been interested in real estate or development
A motivated self-starter who hasn't found the right career path yet but wants an opportunity to learn, grow, and take on responsibility
We're looking for someone who is:
Resourceful and willing to figure things out
Motivated and eager to learn
Highly organized and dependable
Comfortable picking up the phone and following up with people
Comfortable walking into a permitting office, asking questions, and figuring out what needs to happen next
A strong communicator
Comfortable driving around Metro Atlanta for site visits, permitting offices, meetings, and other errands
Tech-savvy and comfortable learning new software
Interested in real estate, development, construction, or entrepreneurship
Able to work independently without needing constant direction
Willing to jump between very different tasks depending on what needs to get done that day
Real estate, construction, permitting, or property management experience is a plus, but absolutely not required. We are willing to teach the industry to someone who is motivated, curious, dependable, and willing to learn.
Schedule & Compensation
Approximately 30–40 hours per week, with some flexibility in scheduling.
This is a hands-on Atlanta-based position and will involve a combination of office work, remote work, meetings, construction site visits, permitting offices, and other locations throughout Metro Atlanta. Reliable transportation is required.
Why This Role Is Different
This isn't a traditional desk job where you'll be doing the same thing every day.
One morning you may be at City Hall following up on a building permit. That afternoon you might visit a construction site, research a piece of land we're considering purchasing, coordinate with a vendor, or help put together marketing for a new community.
You'll get firsthand exposure to how residential developments go from finding the land → due diligence → permitting → financing → construction → marketing → selling the finished home.
You don't need to already know how to do all of this. We'll teach you.
What we're looking for is someone who wants the opportunity, takes initiative, isn't afraid to ask questions, and eventually becomes the type of person we can hand something to and say, “Can you figure this out?”
For someone who wants to build a career in real estate development, construction, or entrepreneurship, this is an opportunity to learn the business from the ground up while working directly with the owners of a growing development company.
