Candidates must possess a bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience with several years in land entitlements or related fields. Preferred qualifications include registration as a planner or engineer. The ideal candidate will have the ability to handle multiple projects, deliver effective presentations, and interpret technical documents pertinent to land development. Physical demands include the ability to sit for long periods, use hands and fingers for handling and feeling, and requirements for vision that include close and peripheral capabilities.
