Planner, Three Sisters Mountain Village

Calgary or Canmore, Alberta | Full-time, Permanent | Salary commensurate with experience | Applications close November 30, 2026

TSMV is a master-planned resort community in Canmore, Alberta, and its build-out will run another 15 to 20 years. This is not a short-term position. A planner who joins now can take the work from the first applications through to completion.

You will help take Sites 2A, 2B, 3, 4 and 5, the Village Core, the Gateway at Stewart Creek, and Smith Creek Phases 1, 2 and 3 through approvals. You will learn the full approval history, from the NRCB decision through the final Area Structure Plans, and use it to move each phase forward. You will report directly to the President and work with Land Development, Finance, Marketing and Sales, consultants, builder partners, and Town of Canmore and provincial staff.

Our head office is in Calgary and a Canmore branch office is opening soon. You can be based in either.

The work

• Prepare land use, subdivision and development applications, plan amendments and supporting reports
• Research the MGA, Land Use Bylaw, statutory plans and regional policy
• Build density, lot yield and phasing analyses using GIS, CAD and Adobe tools
• Track referrals, conditions of approval and consultant deliverables
• Gather yield, servicing and cost data for project economics
• Keep Marketing and Sales aligned with approved plans
• Prepare briefing notes and attend public meetings

What you bring

• Planning degree, ideally CIP accredited, or a related discipline
• APPI and CIP candidate membership or eligibility, with a path to RPP
• Three to five years of professional planning experience
• Working knowledge of the MGA and the Alberta planning hierarchy (MDP, ASP, NSP, outline plans)
• GIS, CAD, Adobe Creative Suite and Excel
• Sound judgment on confidentiality

Assets: Bow Valley or Canmore experience, master planned community experience, and a Class 5 licence.

Strategy and government negotiation stay with the President. Your work gives that leadership what it needs to decide and move on schedule.
