Description:
Reporting to the Development Planning Process Manager, the Planning department is seeking a collaborative and solutions-focused Planner or Planning Analyst to support the modernization of our development and rezoning application processes. This 18-month term position will help improve how development permit and rezoning applications are understood, submitted, and processed by creating clear, consistent, and user-friendly guidance tools. Ability to demonstrate the transfer of complex processes into a visual communication presence is an asset.
In this role, you will lead and support the development of an online Development Guide that sets out clear application steps, requirements, and service standards for applicants and staff, developed in consultation with the development and municipal community. You will also help create supporting templates, training tools, web content, and performance measures to improve transparency, consistency, and usability. Please note that processing land-use applications is not part of this role.
Key Duties and Responsibilities
The ideal candidate will have experience in private and/or public sector environments relating to planning, policy analysis, process design or improvement, project delivery, stakeholder engagement, and plain-language communication. Knowledge of local government land-use processes, particularly development permits and rezonings, will be an asset.
You will join a cohesive and collaborative team that regularly enjoys lunchtime activities and office sports pools, as well as potlucks and baked goods (both production and consumption). If this sounds like a fit for you, please submit your resume and cover letter.
This position may be filled at the Planner or Planning Analyst II level, depending on qualifications and experience. A sample of previous work may be requested as part of the interview process.
If you have specific questions, you can contact Carl Purvis, Manager of Current Planning (email: phone: --).
