Senior Educational Facilities Planner - K-12 Master Planning

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)
