Become a part of the Truckee life and the Truckee Way.

The Town of Truckee is looking for a Principal Planner or a Senior Planner (one vacancy) to oversee the housing functions of the Community Development Department's Planning Division. At the Principal Planner level, you will develop housing strategies and solutions to increase housing supply affordable to the local workforce, oversee policy implementation and development review specific to housing, and work on other current and long-range projects. At the Senior Planner level, you will work collaboratively on Housing Element implementation, complex planning projects, and supporting staff in their decision-making process. Both levels require a strong understanding of housing policy, California housing laws, and development review, requiring candidates to have a background in housing, policy implementation, and working with developers. The ideal candidate for either role will be a steadfast leader who is a creative, out-of-the-box thinker. Someone who can navigate conflict and clearly communicate with others is highly desirable for these roles. Core aspects of these roles include meeting with property owners and developers, diffusing challenging situations, researching planning issues, and representing the Town at various meetings. They will also contribute to a highly skilled, collaborative, and welcoming team of fellow planners. This leader will thrive in a casual work environment - where dogs can be seen around the office and there is a collaborative atmosphere! If you are passionate about housing and are ready to join a talented team while embodying the Town's core values of integrity, teamwork, accountability, commitment, and excellence - apply today!
