Some jobs ask you to maintain the status quo. This isn't one of them. The Town of Peace River is looking for an ambitious, relationship-focused Economic Development Officer to help build the future of our community.

You'll have the chance to shape programs, influence strategy, build meaningful relationships with local businesses, and help attract new investment to one of Alberta's most welcoming and opportunity-rich communities.

If you thrive on connecting people, solving problems, championing communities, and turning ideas into action, we'd love to hear from you.

Reporting to the Manager of Planning & Development, you'll lead and coordinate initiatives that support business attraction, business retention, investment, entrepreneurship, and community growth. This is a collaborative role that works across municipal departments, alongside local businesses, regional partners, developers, government agencies, and community organizations. You'll also support the Town's Economic Development Committee and play an important role in implementing Council's economic development priorities.

What You'll Bring

Post-secondary education in Economic Development, Business Administration, Commerce, Economics, Marketing, Planning, or a related discipline.
Strong organizational, communication, and relationship-building skills.
Excellent written and verbal communication abilities.
Strong computer skills, including Microsoft Office.
Valid Class 5 Driver's License.
Satisfactory Criminal Record Check.

We'd Love to See

Experience in municipal economic development or community development.
Certification through a recognized economic development organization (such as Ec.D., CEcD, or equivalent).
Experience working with businesses, investors, developers, or community organizations.
Grant writing and project management experience.
Knowledge of municipal planning, development processes, and provincial funding programs.
Experience working with immigration, workforce attraction, or business support initiatives.
Incident Command System (ICS) training is an asset (training can be provided).

Full Time

Hours: Monday to Friday, 37.5 hours per week, Weekends and Evenings as required.

Closing Date: Open until a suitable candidate is found.
