Municipal Affairs provides programs, grants, and funding opportunities for municipalities and community groups. The Department also provides services and guidance to municipalities in many areas including land use planning, budget planning and finance, infrastructure development, policy and program development.

About Our Opportunity

Assist the Program Manager/Senior Planner in updating the Municipal Flood Line Mapping Document, ensuring it reflects a science-based approach to developing flood line maps consistently and effectively across Nova Scotia.

Have an important role in building partnerships and collaborative relationships across government and various sectors.
Ensure effective communication of project scope, objectives, and progress

Qualifications and Experience

You should have a genuine interest in exploring practical experience and mentorship in the fields of planning, housing, and government. This role provides an excellent opportunity for individuals seeking to further their understanding and expertise in these areas while contributing to meaningful projects that shape the future of communities.

Working Conditions

Your hours of work will typically be 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM, Monday to Friday. As a valued member of our team at the Department of Municipal Affairs and Housing, you'll collaborate with dedicated staff within our office environment.
