SHN is serving the engineering, geologic, planning and environmental needs of communities in Southern Oregon and Northern California. We live and work in the regions we support, providing clients with projects designed to perform reliably over time. SHN’s deep familiarity with local environmental, economic, and cultural conditions, along with strong relationships with municipal, state, and resource agency staff, creates added value for client projects. As a privately held corporation, approximately 25% of employees are stockholders, allowing the company to focus on long-term stability and investment rather than short-term gains. Founded in 1979, SHN has maintained lasting client relationships and a reputation built on trust and quality service.

We seek a mid- to senior-level Planner with experience in municipal planning to join our planning group in Redding, California. SHN assists many northern Californian counties and cities with their current and advanced planning tasks. We are adept at finding pathways for obtaining entitlements for well thought out projects. This role requires people skills to develop relationships with agency staff, and organizational skills to track and meet deadlines for multiple projects.

Qualifications

• A strong municipal planning background, minimum of 4 years' experience
• Research skills using agency websites and GIS platforms
• Excellence in client care, expense tracking, and project management
• Leadership and desire to coach junior staff
• In-depth knowledge of CEQA/NEPA and permitting (local, CDFW, Army Corps, RWQCB)
• Experience in grant writing and administration
