Facilities planner

A facilities planner plans how an organization uses and develops its physical spaces to meet current and future needs. They analyze space usage, plan layouts and moves, support construction and renovation projects, forecast space requirements, and help ensure the organization's facilities are efficient, well-utilized, and aligned with how it works and where it's headed.

The role blends spatial planning, project work, and analysis, central to organizations with significant or changing space needs. Facilities planners work at large organizations and in real estate and facilities teams.

The job suits organized, analytical, spatially minded people who enjoy planning and optimizing how spaces are used, like the mix of analysis and projects, and want a role shaping the physical environments where an organization works.
