Planner Jobs in Hawaii: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a planner in Hawaii?

Most planning positions in Hawaii require at least a bachelor's degree in urban planning, geography, or public policy, with a master's degree preferred for government roles. Hawaii does not issue a state-specific planning license, but many employers expect or prefer the American Institute of Certified Planners credential. Candidates can pursue AICP certification through the American Planning Association after meeting education and experience requirements.

Which companies hire planners in Hawaii?

Employers hiring planners in Hawaii right now include MANTECH, Booz Allen Hamilton, and SAIC, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. State and county government agencies, resort developers, and engineering consulting firms are the most consistent sources of planning work across the islands.

Which Hawaii cities have the most planner jobs?

Honolulu, Camp Smith, and Camp H M Smith have the most planner job openings in Hawaii. Honolulu leads by a significant margin because it is home to the City and County of Honolulu, the Hawaii State Department of Transportation, and most of the islands' major consulting firms, while Maui and Hilo generate openings through county planning departments and ongoing development and infrastructure projects.

Are there remote planner jobs in Hawaii?

Yes, but they're rare. About 10% of planner openings tied to Hawaii are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting the field's strong preference for on-site community engagement, site visits, and in-person coordination with local agencies. Policy analysis and report-writing roles are the most likely to offer partial remote flexibility.

How can I get hired as a planner in Hawaii with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is applying for planning technician or planning aide roles within Hawaii county planning departments, which regularly hire candidates with a relevant bachelor's degree and no prior professional experience. The City and County of Honolulu and Maui County Planning Department post entry-level positions open to new graduates. Building proficiency in GIS software and completing an internship through a University of Hawaii urban planning program gives candidates a meaningful edge over other applicants.
