JOB DESCRIPTION

The Town of Fairfax, California is seeking a planner to become a part of our dynamic team. Our Planning and Building Department is responsible for both near-term and long-range planning, building and code enforcement initiatives to ensure Fairfax grows mindfully, maintaining its charm while responding to growth in a measured and responsible way.

The Town of Fairfax is an environmentally conscious community that is the gateway to West Marin County. With the town's small businesses and quaint neighborhoods, and the visible open space of oak-studded hills and forested Coastal Range, Fairfax is a unique and special place that is loved by residents and visitors alike.

The small-town environment provides an opportunity to be involved in all aspects of planning from working with customers at the public counter to implementing the Town's General Plan and Town Code. The selected candidate will be pro-active, energetic, progressive, and actively attuned to community interests and concerns.

Fairfax is seeking to hire one planner at either the assistant or associate level. The preferred applicant for either position will have graduated from an accredited college or university with major course work in urban planning, regional planning, or a related field. The preferred applicant for the assistant planner will have one year of full-time work experience (three years for the associate planner) in urban and regional planning and/or a related field.

This is a great opportunity to enjoy a wide range of planning opportunities, projects, and programs and to become part of a team that has enduring value in a community. This position will perform work in town planning, including current and long-range planning.
