MacOS – Tried to do a complete fresh install of Sierra. “Permission Denied” when I go to Install

installmacospermission

So I wiped my computer at work using the disk utility. I went to install the OS again and when I select the drive and hit "install" I get "The operation couldn't be completed. Permission Denied"

enter image description here

When I search for this problem it looks like most people aren't reinstalling the OS and just installing a program so their issue seems to be they are not using an Admin account or what not.

With my issue I'm not exactly logged in to any account and don't know how to give myself permission.

Does anyone have any ideas to fix this issue?

Heres a link to a reddit thread I made where some one tried to help me out so you can see what I've tried. Theres also some more screen shots in that thread.

Edit: I should add that I tried restarting and holding CommandOptionRto do an Internet recovery but when do it takes me back to macOS Utility. I assume as soon as I and it goes to that progress bar which makes me unable to hold Command to choose a boot location. I do have macOS installer on a USB drive but again, when I restart and hold Option it does the progress bar. I do have another Mac and a Thunderbolt cable but I'm not quite sure of the process to use another computer to install the OS. I'll be searching that now.
