If you are interested in applying, we encourage you to think broadly about your background and skill set for the role.

Position Purpose: The primary functions of LCOG’s Planning Program are supporting long-range and current land use planning project work (typically supporting state and federal grants, and local government projects) as assigned.

Associate Planner classification requires a minimum of three years’ experience working on land use, transportation, natural resources, or other planning projects, or any combination of education and experience that provides the applicant with the knowledge, skills, and ability required to perform the job.

Familiarity with the Oregon land use planning and operations environments preferred, and an ability and willingness to remain informed required.
