Job Description:
The Project Planner supports client communities in executing a variety of planning-related projects. While these often focus on Comprehensive Plans and Land Use Regulations, CPS also emphasizes smaller-scale projects that promote incremental growth and positive changes such as assessments, analyses, and evaluations. New projects may arise through existing relationships maintained by our Community Planning Teams with on-call clients, or through more traditional procurement channels.
The Project Planner is an essential member of a project team whose responsibilities may range from task lead to content development to engagement lead and everything in between. The Project Planner will report to the assigned project manager and support them in meeting client needs and deliverables.
The ideal Project Planner candidate will be a passionate, self-driven, organized, solution-oriented planner eager to develop plans and studies that address the needs of CPS client communities. The candidate should have a strong understanding in plan development, community engagement, data analysis and visualization, and development of graphics. GIS proficiency would be helpful as well as other planning tools that help support decision-making. They should have a keen understanding of land use, zoning regulations, community development, transportation planning, housing needs, and environmental impacts in a rural and mountainous context. Strong analytical skills are essential, as they will need to assess data, forecast our clients’ needs, and develop strategic plans to enhance community assets and amenities. The ideal candidate will have excellent communication and interpersonal skills. They will need to collaborate with government agencies, developers, and community members to balance economic growth with social and environmental considerations. The ability to facilitate public meetings, address concerns, and build consensus is crucial. An understanding of Colorado specific land use regulations and laws is preferred for this position.
