City of Chattanooga/Regional Planning Agency
Chattanooga, TN United States
This position is in the Office of Sustainability, a division of the Regional Planning Agency.
Incumbents in this classification are responsible for planning, organizing, and coordinating the implementation of long-range plans (Regional Transportation Plan, land use plans, Capital Improvement Plan, and Climate Action Plan). They ensure that project construction, operations, and maintenance considerations are incorporated in long-range plans and that the vision, intention, and goals of long-range plans are realized in project implementation. Working with project managers, they identify barriers to project delivery and direct resources to ensure project completion. This position requires sustained, in-depth coordination and collaboration with multiple departments and external organizations. Work requires limited supervision and the use of independent judgment and discretion.
Chattanooga, a vibrant and growing community of over 190,000 residents within a metropolitan area of nearly 600,000 is known as the "Scenic City" for a reason. Nestled along the Tennessee River and surrounded by the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, we are a hub of outdoor adventure and innovation. Home to the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) and Chattanooga State Community College, our city blends a rich industrial history with a tech-forward future—famously powered by the nation’s first community-wide "Gig" fiber-optic network. The City of Chattanooga was also recently designated as a "National Park City,” the first of its kind in the United States.
