You will have the ability to influence meaningful decisions and leave a lasting impact on the future of Edson.

In this role, you will:

  • Lead integrated planning across land use, development, and infrastructure
  • Advise Council and senior administration on growth strategy, investment, and policy direction
  • Align departmental priorities to deliver coordinated and effective long-term outcomes
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with regional partners, developers, and government agencies

We are looking for a leader who brings:

  • A strong foundation in planning and municipal development
  • The ability to think strategically while delivering practical results
  • A collaborative leadership style and a genuine passion for community building
  • The confidence to guide complex decisions in a fast-paced environment
  • If you are motivated by the opportunity to shape a community’s future and lead through a period of transition and growth, we encourage you to apply.

To learn more about the role and expectations, please consult the attached job description.
