Senior Planner

You have a passion for active living and non-motorized transportation – you’re the type who enjoys commuting by bike, even when it’s raining, or thinks taking the bus to work is the perfect way to catch up on your reading. You have at least a Bachelor’s in Planning and five or more years of experience but are looking for a career where you can make a difference to the community you live in. You enjoy contributing to the development of proposals and leading field investigations and site analyses. You have a demonstrated understanding of the planning process and ability to manage competing priorities and projects with ease. As a Senior Planner at Alta Planning + Design you will be key in conducting research, collecting data and producing maps and contributing to the continued growth and success of the Vancouver office.
