Portland has five non-supervisory planning classifications - Planning Assistant, Associate Planner, City Planner I, City Planner II, and Senior Planner.
City Planners I perform less specialized and less complex planning assignments than City Planners II and may have fewer years of professional planning experience. City Planners II perform more specialized and complex planning assignments requiring more advanced knowledge of planning principles and practices. City Planners II coordinate complex projects from inception to completion and perform their work more independently than City Planners I.
