About the role

The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) in Montgomery County seeks a Senior Planning Specialist to advance zero waste programs. You will collect and analyze data, design new policies, and reduce waste and increase recycling countywide. The role requires five years of experience in waste reduction, a bachelor’s degree in a planning-related field, and strong communication and project-management skills. Occasional field work and driving a County vehicle are involved.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
