Planner – Development Services

The City of High Point Planning & Development Department is seeking a motivated, team-oriented planner to serve in a new Planner position with its Development Services Division. The position’s essential tasks will include serving as a primary liaison to the public and development community, sign permit reviews, and support of land development application (site plan, subdivision, etc.) reviews. The position will have the ability to cross-train in other division duties (zoning amendments, text amendments, etc.), allowing the Planner to gain a wide range of general experience, which could support future career growth.
The City is in the early stages of its High Point 2045 comprehensive plan. In recent years the City has supported the development of the Truist Point multipurpose stadium, which is home to the Atlantic League’s High Point Rockers baseball team, and will host the region’s MLS NEXT Pro team, Carolina Core FC, beginning in 2024. The City has also supported the Bedrock Building, which includes the Triad’s first food hall, Stock and Grain. Twice per year, the High Point Market, the world’s premier home furnishings event, brings approximately 75,000 attendees to the city’s downtown.
The City of High Point is a great place to work and is ideally positioned in North Carolina’s Triad, near Greensboro and Winston Salem. High Point continues to steadily grow, is accessible to major population centers, and offers a reasonable cost of living and a high quality of life.
