Step into a role where your talent drives real-world impact. At AHBL, we’re looking for professionals who thrive in a collaborative environment and see every project as an adventure. If you enjoy working closely with clients and cross-functional teams to bring projects from concept to construction, we want to meet you!

At AHBL, we don’t just shape cities—we help to build vibrant communities where the work is rewarding. Our teams enjoy coming to work and flourish through innovation and creativity.

Since 1969, our multi-discipline firm has delivered innovative solutions in engineering, planning, landscape architecture, and land surveying. Our team is passionate about creative problem-solving, and we take pride in the meaningful, diverse projects we deliver.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

In this role you will work on a variety of current and long-range planning projects for public and private sector clients throughout Washington and the west coast. You will be performing professional planning services in a team environment and will enjoy frequent contact with AHBL’s clients, including contacts with the city, county, and state officials and staff, citizens’ groups, and other professionals. Your work will include the preparation of comprehensive plans, subarea plans and development regulations. You will also prepare parks, recreation, and open space plans, as well as environmental review documents under the Washington State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) and the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA). This will involve research, writing, preparing graphics and maps, and public engagement. Your work will include participating in multi-disciplined teams to help design and entitle projects as well as work under our on-call consulting contracts.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

 
  • Bachelor’s degree in planning, landscape architecture, or an equivalent field
  • 3-5 years of professional planning experience
  • Knowledge of the philosophies, principles, practices, and techniques of planning
  • Understanding of land use controls (e.g., zoning, subdivision, landscape codes)
  • Excellent oral, written, and graphic communication skills and an interest in public engagement
  • Geographic Information System (GIS) skills
  • Urban design skills
COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS

Actual pay will be based on experience and other job-related factors permitted by law. Ranges are based on a 40-hour work week.

 
  • Planner IV - $85,680 - $106,000 per year.
  • Annual discretionary performance-based bonus.
  • 100% paid employee medical, dental, vision, prescription coverage, life insurance and long-term disability protection. Subsidized dependent coverage.
  • Option of PPO health plan or HDHP with Health Savings Account (HSA) with company contribution.
  • Optional Flexible Spending Account (FSA).
  • Paid Time Off (PTO) Benefits. PTO is accrued at 16.5 days (132 hours) annually for new hires.
  • 8 company-paid holidays each calendar year.
  • Discretionary company-matched 401(k) plan.
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP).
  • Additional voluntary benefits include voluntary hospital indemnity coverage, voluntary accident insurance, and voluntary critical illness insurance.
