The City of San Mateo Community Development Department is Looking for two Assistant Planner/Associate Planners

Why Join our Department?

You’ll be joining a team of dedicated and talented professionals that strive to provide the highest quality of service to the San Mateo community, in a dynamic, fast paced, collaborative, and innovative work environment.

The Community Development Department, also known as CDD, is organized into four divisions — Planning, Building, Code Enforcement, and Housing.  CDD has broad responsibilities including, but not limited to, long-range planning, review of applications for new developments, implementation of the City’s housing programs, and maintenance of neighborhoods.  The Assistant/Associate Planner positions are integral to the Planning Division’s team of highly motivated professionals who work closely with internal and external customers to provide comprehensive planning services to the community.

Look at some of the reasons why the City of San Mateo is a great place to work: https://youtu.be/XNAF7GZUNl8

The Position

The Assistant Planner/Associate Planner performs professional level work in the field of current planning or advance planning and related work as required.

Assistant Planner - This is the entry level class in the professional planning series. This class is distinguished from the Associate Planner by the performance of the less complex tasks and duties assigned to positions within the series including assignments in the fields of current or advance planning which require the application of fundamental planning principles. Assignments are generally limited in scope and within the design and procedural framework established by higher level employees. However, as experience is acquired, the employee performs with increasing independence. Since this class is typically used as a continued training class, employees may have only limited work experience.

Associate Planner - This is the journey level class in the professional planning series. Employees within this class are distinguished from the Assistant Planner by the performance of the full range of duties as assigned, which require the application of professional knowledge and skills to various municipal planning, zoning and environmental problems and the preparation of specific reports and plans. The position provides opportunity for independent judgment in planning work details and making technical determinations. Work in this class is distinguished from that of the Assistant Planner class by the greater complexity of the assignments received including preparing zoning code and general plan amendment studies, and by the greater independence with which the incumbent is expected to operate. Employees at this level receive only occasional instruction or assistance as new or unusual situations arise, and are fully aware of the operating procedures and policies of the work unit. Positions in this class are flexibly staffed and are normally filled by advancement from the lower class of Assistant Planner, or, when filled from the outside, require prior professional planning work experience.

The Assistant Planner receives general supervision from a Senior Planner or higher level department personnel.  The Associate Planner receives direction from a Senior Planner or higher level department personnel and may exercise technical and functional supervision over lower level staff as assigned.
