Community planner (full or part time positions available)
We really like outside the box thinkers; people who can bring a different perspective and a new way of doing things to the programs we already have at the NWMO RCOG. It’s easy to get stuck doing the same things the way they’ve always been done, so we also welcome new ideas for projects and services that would benefit our region.
Under the direction of the Associate Director, Community Planners are responsible for providing technical expertise to communities in planning, public engagement, application development, and project development for a wide array of projects.
