For permitting gigs, I’ve shaved a week off by filing utility locates the day we get the ROW map and pre-drafting a NEPA/Section 106 checklist; the sleeper issue on my last crossing job was a county road-occupancy permit, so call the clerk first. While “remote job opportunities are sparse,” permitting can work hybrid if you batch site walks into one day and handle coordination from home — be ready to jump like a conductor at a green signal.
