Planner - ( 2300020S )

Description

Strong communities don’t just happen—they’re built. They’re creatively imagined, collaboratively planned, and readied to face tomorrow with optimism. We’re driving the future of Community Development. Our experts lead their fields, collaborating on projects that are as technically challenging as they are impactful, creative, and fulfilling. We’re a place where you can apply your passion—and find endless opportunities to help make communities more equitable, resilient, and livable.

Your Opportunity

Our team then works long-term with communities to implement the funding, design, and engineering. Projects often translate from working with municipalities to working with the developers. Variety is vast, as every community has different challenges to overcome. We work on areas with large environmental issues, transit-oriented desires, resiliency challenges, mixed-income developments, outdoor spaces, and more. Opportunities to work on non-brownfields redevelopment projects will also be available. We connect the people, places, and resources that take a project from concept to reality.
