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)
