Senior Educational Facilities Planner - K-12 Master Planning

Shape the future of K–12 education—at a districtwide scale.

Why This Role Stands Out

This is a strategic, client-facing role ideal for professionals who enjoy:

• Advising superintendents and boards on complex facilities decisions

• Turning data (enrollment, capacity, condition) into clear direction

• Balancing educational goals with budget and operational realities

• Leading conversations that shape campuses for decades

What You'll Do

• Lead districtwide facilities master planning and capital programs

• Guide decisions on modernization, replacement, growth, and consolidation

• Align enrollment projections and educational programs with facility needs

• Develop capital improvement plans, including prioritization and phasing

• Partner with architects and engineers to transition planning into design

• Present recommendations to leadership teams, boards, and communities

• Facilitate workshops and stakeholder engagement sessions

What You Bring

Required

• 8–10+ years in facilities planning, architecture, or capital programs

• Experience with K–12 master planning or bond-funded projects

• Strong ability to translate data into actionable planning strategies

• Excellent presentation and stakeholder communication skills

• Experience working with or within A/E/C teams

Experience limited solely to instructional leadership, curriculum planning, or academic program management will not meet the requirements of this role.

Preferred

• California public school experience (CDE/DSA familiarity)

• Experience presenting to boards or executive leadership

• Professional licensure or advanced degree (a plus, not required)
