Kingston ON KM G, Canada Patry Group of Companies Full time

Urban Planner (Intermediate) — Kingston, ON

Permanent | Full-Time

If you're an urban planner with a few solid years under your belt and you're starting to think about balance, stability, and building something meaningful, this might be worth a look.

I run a Kingston-based real estate development company focused on delivering housing that actually gets built — market housing, student residences, and affordable units. We currently manage over 5,000 units, have multiple projects under construction, and a long-term pipeline targeting approximately 1,000 new units per year over the next 7–10 years.

This isn't speculative planning work — these are real projects moving through approvals and into the ground.

We're looking for an Intermediate Urban Planner (5–8 years' experience) to help lead planning approvals and land-use strategy across our developments.

This is a hands-on role with real responsibility — but also one that respects the fact that people have lives outside of work.

What you'd be doing

  • Leading rezoning, Official Plan amendments, and site plan approvals
  • Working directly with the City of Kingston and other agencies
  • Coordinating consultants (planning, engineering, urban design)
  • Reviewing planning rationale, technical studies, and approvals materials
  • Supporting development feasibility and longer-term land strategy

You won't be stuck in the background — you'll own files from early concept through approval and see them progress toward construction.

Who this is a good fit for

  • You have 5–8 years of planning experience (public, private, or mixed)
  • You're eligible for OPPI / RPP or already a member
  • You know Ontario's planning system and approvals process
  • You're comfortable working independently and making judgment calls
  • You value good work, clear expectations, and reasonable hours

What we offer

  • Salary range: $88,000–$98,000, depending on experience
  • Extended health & dental benefits
  • RRSP / retirement contributions
  • RESP contribution: $1,000 per year for each child under 18
  • Keys in Hand benefit: $1,500 per month toward owning a condo, townhouse, detached home, or investment property
  • Hybrid flexibility
  • Professional dues & development support
  • A permanent, stable role in a growing company with a long-term development pipeline

Why Kingston

Short commutes. Strong schools. Waterfront access. A growing city without big-city pressure. It's a great place to build a career — and a life.
