About the role
GEMTEC is a growing firm with offices throughout Atlantic Canada and in Ontario, and we are looking for a motivated and skilled Planner to join our Team.

About Us At GEMTEC, we offer something different. We’re an employee-owned, 400-person multidisciplinary consulting firm—not too big, not too small.

Contribute to the development of design concepts for public and private spaces, including subdivisions and municipal transportation corridors. Collaborate with interdisciplinary project teams to integrate planning principles into infrastructure projects. Conduct research and analysis to inform planning and other related decision-making processes. Prepare and present proposals to clients and stakeholders. Coordinate and present at public/stakeholder meetings, incl. associated travel and work outside of normal business hours. Interpret zoning regulations, and other regulatory requirements, such as environmental regulations. Stay up-to-date with industry trends and best practices in planning. Support business development and strategic planning. Review and contribute to technical deliverables prepared by other disciplines, incl. civil engineering reporting, geotechnical, environmental assessments, hydrogeological, etc.

Proficiency in industry-standard software, such as GIS, SketchUp, and/or Adobe Creative Suite considered an asset. Knowledge of planning principles, planning policy, and zoning regulations. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to interpret complex data and translate it into solutions. Excellent communication and presentation skills necessary to effectively convey information to clients and other stakeholders, including members of the public. Ability to work collaboratively in a multidisciplinary team and advance and manage multiple projects simultaneously. Bilingual in French and English would be considered an asset.
The good stuff you get: Salary range of $70,000 - $90,000 per year Full time permanent salaried position Employee owned company with future potential to be a shareholder Year end profit sharing bonus Health and dental benefits Matching RRSP up to 5% Paid time off (vacation starting at 3 weeks per year and sick days) Office year-end closure (paid time off between Christmas and New Years) Work/life balance including a 37.5 hour work week and flexible working arrangements including hybrid options.
