THE POSITION

The Planner II - Sustainability - PBES will perform a variety of responsible professional duties in the field of current and advanced land use planning, groundwater planning, and sustainability planning; to prepare, process, and present environmental analysis reports, research findings, and agenda items; disseminate information to the public and provide assistance to the public and developers on complex matters; and, as assigned, perform business process analysis and oversee interdepartmental permitting coordination and ensure the efficiency of the Department's permit information tracking systems.

The Planner is a flexibly staffed job series performing a full range of professional activities within the Planning, Building, and Environmental Services Department. Planners may be assigned to the Planning, Code Compliance, Water Resources, and Sustainability Divisions or disciplines within the Department.

The difference in Planner levels depends on the complexity of the assignments and the degree of independent judgment and responsibility required:

  • The Planner II is the journey level of the series and works under general supervision while performing difficult, varied and complex professional planning assignments. As experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities are acquired, and increased proficiency consistently demonstrated, an incumbent may be promoted to a Planner III when there is an associated need.
  • The Planner III is the advanced journey level class in the professional planning series. This class is distinguished from the Planner II level by the successful completion, on a regular and continuing basis, of the more complex planning assignments.

This position is expected to perform the full range of planning duties with a significant degree of independent judgment and responsibility. Positions assigned to this class may also apply specialized and advanced level knowledge, skills, and abilities in the area to which they are assigned and may serve as a lead worker to lower-level planning staff.
