Senior Educational Facilities Planner - K-12 Master Planning

TETER is seeking a Senior Educational Facilities Planner to lead high-impact master planning efforts that guide millions in public investment. In this role, you’ll help school districts make confident decisions about modernization, growth, and long-range infrastructure strategy.

You won’t just deliver plans—you’ll see your work move from vision to implementation , partnering closely with architects and engineers to bring ideas to life.

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.

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

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

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.

California public school experience (CDE/DSA familiarity)

Experience presenting to boards or executive leadership

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