Job details
Junior Policy StrategistTurner Drake & Partners Ltd.A Career Like no Other!Join us: there are challenges to meet, opportunities to be created, horizons to conquer; be part of the excitement! From our headquarters in Halifax we are undertaking assignments throughout Atlantic Canada and beyond.We've put our own spin on Planning consultancy. Breaking from the typical association with design and engineering, we approach the built environment from an economic viewpoint. Over the past decade we've leveraged the firm's near half-century of experience in real estate consulting to build a Planning Division unlike any other. Our practice focuses on the interplay of demographic forces and economic trends, public interest and private profit, policy goals and practical outcomes, and how all of this determines whether plans garner results… or gather dust. With this approach, our work spans all manner of interesting and important topics related to the form and evolution of our communities, and the people who comprise them.With a well-established foundation in research and analysis, our services are sought by all sectors when there is a need to answer "what is really happening?" in creative and insightful ways. From here, we continue to expand into strategy, answering "what should we do about it?" with thoroughly considered advice that points to sensible, effective actions. We are looking for a policy-minded new professional to help us continue the journey!Though working closely in a team of planners, economists, and spatial analysts, you will draw on the support of the entire firm; a group of professionals and resources painstakingly assembled, a smorgasbord of complementary skills whose whole is greater than the sum of its parts, able to provide clients with unique solutions. Our services span Valuation and Appraisal, Property Tax, Economic Intelligence (GIS), Counselling, Lasercad● Space Measurement, and Brokerage (Sales & Leasing). Check our web site www.turnerdrake.com for more detail about us and our work.Skills and QualificationsYou will have a related degree (urban planning, policy studies, public administration, political science, etc.), and be a recent graduate or have a couple years under your belt. Regardless of education or experience, we seek someone enticed by new and novel challenges, comfortable working with the ambiguous and intangible, and able to coordinate the activities and contributions of various internal and external stakeholders. Strong communication skills and a command of the written word is essential; our work demands an ability to distill complex topics into cogent language. Skills in project management, familiarity accessing and understanding legislative, policy, and regulatory documents, and subject matter expertise in contemporary policy issues (e.g. housing) are strong assets. A working knowledge of typical Microsoft 365 programs is required, while additional technical proficiencies (e.g. ESRI GIS, R Stats, Python, etc.) are considered a bonus. Though not essential as an applicant, an understanding of the real estate markets and general context of Atlantic Canada is also valuable.Though we'd like someone who can hit the ground running, we care more about fit than finish. You should be ambitious, enthusiastic, a strategic thinker, creative, and open to viewing issues through different perspectives. You must have an interest in real estate economics and developing your expertise in order to share our team's common foundation, but an ability to acquire and integrate knowledge across broader topics, see the bigger picture, and communicate it effectively. You will relish challenge, enjoy working in a multi-disciplinary team, and crave to broaden your horizons. You will be interested in a career rather than just a job. You will want to work with colleagues who share your enthusiasm and clients who appreciate your contributions. You will enjoy variety and merit the respect of you- LocationHalifax, NS
