Planner I/II - City of Waxahachie

The City of Waxahachie is accepting applications for a Planner I/II in the Planning & Zoning Department. Planner I is the entry-level position within professional planning. A bachelor’s degree or a master’s degree is required. It is distinguished from the planning Technician position because it involves professional-level duties and judgement, and fewer routine administrative tasks. This position level receives considerable immediate supervision from superiors.

Planner II requires professional planning work of moderate difficulty. It is characterized by increasingly specialized knowledge of the planning field and a more elevated level of required duties and responsibility compared with the Planner I. The Planner II is expected to possess in depth knowledge within one or more planning specialties such as economic development, comprehensive planning, or environmental planning. Although supervisors closely review the work of the Planner II, planners at this level receive somewhat less immediate supervision when compared to the Planning Technician or Planner I.

Planner I
Bachelor’s degree in urban planning, architecture, public policy, or related area of study in addition to one year experience in planning
