Read MoreSalary: $71,640
This is a provisional position in the Dutchess County Department of Planning and Development.
This is professional planning work involving responsibility for research, preparation of reports and studies, and the recommendation of solutions to planning problems.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:
EITHER: (A) Master's degree in Planning or a related field (urban studies, environmental sciences, civil engineering, geography, economics or transportation planning);
OR: (B) Bachelor's degree in Planning or a related field (urban studies, environmental sciences, civil engineering, geography; economics, or transportation planning) and one (1) year of technical work experience in planning;
OR: (C) An equivalent combination of education, training and experience between the limits of (A) and (B) above.
NOTE: Your degree or college credit must have been awarded by a college or university accredited by a regional, national, or specialized agency recognized as an accrediting agency by the U.S. Department of Education/U.S. Secretary of Education.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENT:
Possession of a valid Driver License to operate a motor vehicle in New York State at time of application and to maintain the position.
FINGERPRINTING: A fingerprint supported background investigation is required before an appointment is made to some positions. Pursuant to New York State Executive Law, the Division of Criminal Justice Services requires that a fee accompany each such request for a search.
