  • Familiarity with Seattle-area jurisdictions and permitting requirements.
  • Strong client-facing and project management skills.

Why Atwell?

  • Collaborative culture where your expertise is recognized and your ideas are heard.
  • Opportunity to build relationships with some of the region's most active developers and stakeholders.
  • Top tier benefits that cover health, work life balance, financial success, and personal and professional development
