ASSISTANT PLANNER – GRANTS AND PROGRAMMING

Under the direction of the Grants and Programming Manager, the Assistant Planner serves in a support role. This position is the entry level class within the Planner series. Positions at this level may perform some of the duties of the higher-level class, yet receive more instruction and assistance, and are not expected to perform at the same level as the higher-level class. As experience is gained, the Assistant Planner will become more aware of operating procedures and policies within the work unit and will be expected to work more independently.

The Assistant Planner's work is split between the Altamont Corridor Express (ACE) commuter rail transit service and San Joaquins intercity rail services. For ACE, the work is focused on the existing ACE services and the ACE improvement and expansion program known as "Valley Rail". A goal of Valley Rail is to expand ACE to serve northern and central California communities.
