  • Create or contribute to visually rich and technically sound deliverables—individually or in partnership with team members.
  • Help foster strong relationships with current and potential clients to support future project opportunities.
  • Attend and support evening meetings as needed related to planning, development, and zoning activities.

  • 4–7 years of professional experience in municipal planning, consulting, or similar roles within the private or public sector
  • Strong background in public engagement and comfort speaking in front of community groups and elected bodies
  • Advanced understanding of zoning regulations and processes
