Our Planning Department is seeking a highly motivated individual who is ready to learn and adapt to the ever-growing City we call home. Preference is given to individuals with a bachelor’s degree from a recognized institution in planning or a related field. Registered Professional Planners or those in the process of obtaining their designation are preferred.
As the successful candidate, you are willing to adapt and learn about the legislative challenges we face as Canada’s border city, be able to respond professionally and creatively to unexpected challenges and shifting workload priorities, and be an independent thinker and problem solver who works well in a collaborative environment.

As the Planning Services Team works through implementation and ongoing monitoring of the documents, this is an existing time of change, growth and opportunity. To date in 2025, the City has approved several multi-million dollar permits (based on construction value) which will continue to entice and spark growth within our community and region. Contingent upon budget approval, there is on-going need for the comprehensive review of the statutory documents which effect our City on both the Alberta and Saskatchewan sides of our border.
Living in Lloydminster offers a range of urban, recreational and outdoor activities, including:
- enjoying local restaurants;
- attending community events including Heritage Days, Street Fest, Winter Fest, and Lloyd Ex Fair;
