Prince Rupert job opportunity focuses on City's Planning Department

The City of Prince Rupert is on the hunt for some upper management help this July, seeking applications for the position of City Planner 1, a career opportunity that appears to be focused on the prospect of progress on major projects beginning to take place.

The position features responsibilities related to the processing of development and building permit applications and offering urban design, planning, as well as residential and commercial bylaw advice to the public, city staff and applicants.

Skills in managing, motivating, developing and mentoring a team are also high on the list for the City, as well as the ability to work in a changing environment while delivering complex projects on time and on budget.

The full range of responsibilities and qualifications can be reviewed here.

The City is seeking someone with two to five years of municipal planning experience or equivalent for the position. The deadline for those interested in the opportunity is July 18th.

Currently the City's Planning Department is led by Zeno Krekic who has helped to steer a number of the city's recent initiatives when it comes to major project planning.  There is no indication on the city's website if the advertised position is a new addition for City staff, or if the current City Planner is moving into a different role with city, or is destined for other opportunities elsewhere.
