Senior Long Range Planner
Compensation: $84,676.80 - $118,456.00 annually, including a generous benefits package
The City/County Association of Governments of San Mateo County (C/CAG) deals with issues that affect the quality of life in general, including transportation, air quality, stormwater runoff, hazardous waste, solid waste and recycling, land use near airports, and abandoned vehicle abatement. C/CAG provides a unique forum for the cities and the County to work together on common issues to develop cost-effective solutions. The Board consists of 21 members with one from each city (20) and the County.
The Senior Long Range Planner, under the direction of the Executive Director, will primarily focus on the inter-relationship between transportation and land use, and to develop policies for both transportation and land use to encourage and strengthen the coordination between them. Most of the focus and analysis is long range (10-30 years); however, short range analysis and policies are the building blocks for the long range vision.
Responsibilities include: developing plans, programs, policies and studies for C/CAG including the formulation of policies linking land use and transportation; managing the production of transportation, land use and housing plans, programs and studies that are multi-jurisdictional and involve extensive agency coordination; making effective and persuasive presentations to city and county leaders, the public, and Boards and Commissions; maintaining an effective working relationship with staff, local, regional and State governmental agencies, and public and private interest groups; directing, coordinating and monitoring the work of consultants; and providing assistance to senior level management.
A typical way to qualify is two years of increasingly responsible managerial experience, preferably in the planning or transportation field. A Master’s degree in Planning or Transportation Planning is ideal.
This recruitment is open on a continuous basis and selections may be made at any time within the process.
Applications for this position will only be accepted online. Please go to www.co.sanmateo.ca.us/hr/jobs for more complete information about this position and to apply.
