Specific knowledge in the areas of urban design, environmental management, agricultural planning, and land use management is preferred.
- An ability to communicate in a clear, concise, and considerate manner (e.g. emails and other correspondence to the public, committee and Council reports, reports to internal and external departments, answering enquiries, and presenting planning reports).
- Supervisory experience will be considered an asset.
- Experience using geographic information systems will be considered an asset.
- Possession and maintenance of a valid Class 5 B.C. Driver's License; a satisfactory current driver's abstract will be required.
- The position may be physically demanding; candidate must be able to successfully perform all duties associated with the position. A medical certificate attesting to suitability for this position may be required.
