Seeking Entry-Level Urban Designer/Planner
A very small Chicago area planning studio is seeking a smart, high energy, self-directing
urban designer/planner. The focus of the firm is the development of sustainable zoning
codes, mainly form-based codes, and some support and development of master plans.
Some travel may be required.
The position is for a full time entry level urban designer to provide illustrations,
formatting of documents, writing, and general support for current code projects and
office functions. The candidate should have a master’s degree in planning, architecture,
or landscape architecture with a firm general knowledge of building and street
dimensions, and some background/understanding of zoning.
The candidate shall have excellent experience and a high comfort level with Sketchup
and Adobe Creative Suite, especially InDesign. Experience with setting up templates
and using styles in both InDesign and Microsoft Office is necessary. Working knowledge
of ArcGIS would be helpful. A simple-to-use CAD software is used for drawing and an
ability to quickly learn fairly intuitive drawing software is required.
The office is mobile, so an ability to manage yourself and keep moving on multiple
projects is necessary. The work schedule is somewhat flexibility, but the intensity of the
work is fairly constant. A high level of organization, great attitude, excellent
communication, and a desire to learn is paramount. Position is salaried based upon
level of experience and expertise.
If you fulfill the qualifications above and find the type of work interesting, please send a
statement of interest including your reason for applying and your resume as soon as
possible to urbandesignerposition@mail.com. Examples of graphic illustrations and
other document layout will be requested upon review of initial information.
