SAVE THE DATE! Interviews are tentatively planned for October 6 & 7, 2014.

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate will have a successful track record working independently with discretion and initiative on advance planning activities in support of City Council programs and the General Plan. He/she will present as a professional capable of driving deadlines and milestones on complex, long range planning assignments, requiring exceptional project management and prioritization skills. The Associate Planner will take projects from origination through to completion, occasionally providing presentations to business groups, neighborhood groups, other professionals, the Planning Commission and City Council.

The ideal candidate will be a strong consensus builder amongst disparate parties such as other agencies, industries, developers and citizens. He/she may engage with public participation in lengthy processes which requires a customer-focused orientation, as well as problem-solving and decision making abilities. Reporting directly to a Senior Planner, the Associate Planner must be innovative and comfortable in creating standards where there are none, as is the necessity of advance planning.
