Regional Planner
Plan the future of beautiful, dynamic, growing Central Virginia! Some of the nation’s best-known cultural features mark the landscape of the Central Virginia Planning District, including the Appalachian Trail, Blue Ridge Parkway, and Appomattox Court House National Historical Park. They surround metropolitan Lynchburg, a full-service urban area with a vibrant downtown, quiet neighborhoods, good schools, quality healthcare, and low crime rates. The region’s six institutions of higher learning and charming villages are nestled in the Blue Ridge’s foothills and the banks of scenic, accessible rivers.
Long a railroad town, Lynchburg’s passenger rail station offers three daily departures to Washington, DC, just three-and-a-half hours to the northeast. The region is within an hour’s drive of the University of Virginia and within two hours of Virginia Tech and the state capital. Urban bus transit serves the metro area, as do on- and off-road bicycling networks. Downtown arteries are undergoing transformation to complete streets, making the CVPDC office on Main Street convenient and accessible to neighborhoods of all types.
CVPDC planners perform professional work in areas of transportation planning and administration; community development; and economic, land-use, and environmental planning. CVPDC offers an ideal environment for motivated and creative individuals to develop and expand their professional skills. The workplace flexibility of a small office provides opportunities for our planners to work across CVPDC service areas for the region and its ten member local governments.
The CVPDC provides a quiet workplace in which colleagues are encouraged to collaborate. The work schedule is flexible, and employees occasionally work remotely or on-site in the region’s communities. The Regional Planner will manage assignments within larger planning initiatives, support local government staff committees, and meet with stakeholders alongside senior CVPDC staff. The successful candidate will be a self-starter who adds value to CVPDC planning initiatives with ingenuity and creativity.
The position is open to entry-level candidates with degrees in urban and regional planning. Internships, volunteerism, and community service will satisfy experience requirements in the official job description. An entry-level candidate will start as a Planner I with a salary between $55,349 and $57,147, depending on experience or advanced degree. The successful Planner I will be eligible for a promotion to Planner II and a 10 percent salary increase in two years.
