The Waste Prevention and Environmental Services Department at Metro is seeking a visionary leader for the role of Regional Facilities Planning and Development Director. In this position you will drive strategic implementation of capital infrastructure projects and programs outlined in the plan adopted by Metro Council in March 2025.  

The plan charts a course to invest in facilities and services that increase access to reuse, recycling, and garbage services and facilities to reduce the amount of materials sent to landfill and to modernize equipment and infrastructure for efficiency and resilience. You will be responsible for overseeing the planning, financing, execution, and management of large-scale infrastructure or facility improvement projects. This role requires a combination of technical, managerial, and financial skills.

In this role, you will manage a team to ensure the efficient planning, development, construction, and operation of all related projects, working in close coordination with Metros’ Financial and Regulatory Services Department to plan for and issue a series of bonds to finance the infrastructure projects identified in the plan over the next 20 years.  

Your success in this role will rely heavily on building and maintaining relationships and collaborative partnerships with department staff; cross-departmental work teams; regional local governments; Oregon DEQ and other public agencies; non-governmental groups; community organizations; and business, industry, and trade associations to support implementation of the plan.
