Full job description

Lethbridge County is at the forefront of one of Alberta's most exciting municipal planning initiatives — and we're looking for an exceptional planner to help lead it.

We are launching a groundbreaking regional planning partnership with the Town of Coalhurst, a first-of-its-kind collaboration that is redefining how a county and an urban municipality can plan, grow, and thrive together. This isn't business as usual. This is intermunicipal planning at its most innovative — a model that other municipalities across the province will be watching closely.

As our Lead Planner, you won't just process files. You'll help write the playbook. You'll work at the intersection of rural agricultural land use and urban growth pressures, navigating the full complexity of the planning spectrum — from expansive county landscapes and farm operations to the streets, subdivisions, and community spaces of a growing town. You'll lead statutory planning initiatives, shape Intermunicipal Development Plans, and bring professional expertise to decisions that will define this region for generations.

This is a role for a planner who wants to make an impact — someone who sees regional collaboration not as a complication, but as an opportunity to do genuinely better planning. If you're energized by complexity, motivated by innovation, and want to build something lasting with a team that's fully invested in getting it right, Lethbridge County is where your career takes its next big step.

Position Summary

The Senior Planner is responsible for leading complex planning and development files, providing advanced technical expertise, and supporting strategic land use planning initiatives within Lethbridge County. The position acts as Development Authority as delegated and provides professional planning advice to Administration, Council, developers, landowners, and the public.

The Senior Planner plays a key role in statutory plan development, planning applications, intermunicipal planning initiatives, and policy analysis. This position provides mentorship to planning staff and supports the Manager, Planning and Development in advancing departmental goals and strategic initiatives. Duties are performed in accordance with the Municipal Government Act, applicable provincial regulations, County bylaws, and County policy.
