Senior Educational Facilities Planner

Senior Educational Facilities Planner – Facilities Master Planning K–12 School District Facilities Master Planning & Capital Program Development About The Opportunity

This is a senior, high‑impact facilities master planning role for professionals who want to shape the long‑term future of K–12 school districts at a district wide and community scale. As a Senior Educational Facilities Planner, you will lead and influence facilities master plans and capital programs that guide millions of dollars in public investment—helping school districts make confident, defensible decisions about modernization, growth, consolidation, and long‑range infrastructure strategy.

You will work inside an architecture and engineering firm, collaborating directly with architects, engineers, and construction administrators to ensure that planning recommendations are actionable, fundable, and ready to move into design and implementation. Unlike many planning roles, this position allows you to see your strategic work move from vision to plan to project delivery.

• Advising senior decision‑makers on complex, long‑range facilities challenges
• Translating data (enrollment, capacity, facility condition) into clear planning direction
• Balancing educational priorities with fiscal, operational, and physical realities
• Leading conversations that shape campuses and communities for decades

At TETER, you'll serve as a trusted advisor to Superintendents, executive teams, and governing boards—helping districts navigate some of their most consequential facilities decisions.

In this role, you will:

• Lead district wide facilities master planning efforts that establish long‑term capital priorities
• Help school districts make informed decisions about modernization vs. replacement, growth, and consolidation
• Align enrollment projections, educational programs, and physical capacity into cohesive facilities strategies
• Shape capital improvement programs that directly influence funding, phasing, and implementation
• Partner closely with architecture and engineering teams so that planning work transitions seamlessly into design
• Communicate complex planning concepts clearly to boards, leadership teams, and community stakeholders

This position focuses on the built environment and capital planning side of K–12 education. It does not involve curriculum development, instructional planning, or academic program management.

• Lead and support district wide facilities master plans for K–12 school districts
• Conduct facility assessments, modernization analyses, and replacement evaluations
• Translate enrollment projections and educational programs into physical capacity needs
• Develop capital improvement programs, including project prioritization, sequencing, and phasing
• Align facilities strategies with funding pathways, including state programs and local bond planning
• Support long‑range growth planning, consolidation scenarios, and modernization strategies

• Collaborate closely with architects, engineers, and construction administrators to ensure planning efforts integrate smoothly into design and implementation
• Provide clear planning direction that supports efficient transition from master planning to project delivery
• Work across multidisciplinary teams to deliver cohesive, technically sound recommendations

• Advise Superintendents, Chief Business Officials, executive teams, and governing boards with clear, data‑driven recommendations
• Prepare and deliver clear, visually compelling presentations for boards and community stakeholders
• Facilitate workshops and planning sessions that align educational priorities…
