Tucked into Florida’s northeast corner and hugging the Atlantic Ocean along Interstate 95 north of Jacksonville, Nassau County’s 726 square miles form the eastern gateway to the Sunshine State. From pristine beaches and natural preserves to historic landmarks and first-class amenities, the community of over 101,500 residents is among the fastest-growing counties in the country — and it’s no surprise. Through land use planning, zoning regulations, and conservation efforts, the county balances growth with environmental stewardship, creating livable communities and enhancing the quality of life for its residents.
Nassau County, Florida, is looking for a skilled and innovative consensus-builder with a collaborative spirit and a commitment to community development to take on the role of Assistant Planning Director. The right fit for this position is charismatic and upbeat, adapts well to change, and is dedicated to producing exceptional work, drawing input from diverse community stakeholders to create complex, high-profile projects while maintaining the attention to detail necessary for the daily tasks of a modern planning department.
This role requires a bachelor’s degree in urban planning, public policy, urban design, landscape architecture, architecture, or a related field, with a master’s degree preferred.
Candidates should also have eight years of relevant professional planning experience in a municipal or public sector environment, including experience and responsibilities for policy development, research and analysis, interpretation, and elected/appointed official support. Supervisory experience is also required; certification through the American Institute of Certified Planners is a plus.
Nassau County is offering a salary range of $83,250-$126,675 for this position alongside a comprehensive benefits package.
