Job Description

What to Expect
We’re looking for an experienced space planning professional with strong program management and technical planning expertise to support a Space Planning team in shaping early-stage lab and workplace environments. This role focuses on driving feasibility studies, creating test fits, and leading lab and workplace planning efforts from initial concept through detailed planning and handoff for execution. You’ll play a key role in ensuring projects stay aligned with aggressive timelines, established standards, and cross‑functional requirements.
The ideal candidate brings a multidisciplinary background with 5–7 years of hands-on experience in lab and workplace planning, Revit modeling, feasibility analysis, and producing high-quality planning deliverables in a fast-paced, evolving environment.
What You’ll Do

Own and manage front-end space planning workflows and program processes for lab and workplace development initiatives
Lead multiple planning projects simultaneously, spanning infrastructure, lab, and workplace spaces from early concepts through detailed test fits and planning package delivery
Operate effectively in a high-velocity environment while balancing competing priorities and parallel workstreams
Partner on feasibility studies and develop optimized test fits that meet operational, regulatory, and design requirements
Convert design briefs, stakeholder inputs, and architectural constraints into detailed Revit models, space plans, and presentation-ready materials
Support post-planning activities, including model updates and documentation, to enable downstream design and construction teams
Build strong relationships with cross-functional partners (engineering, facilities, operations, lab users) to maintain alignment, resolve issues, and support timely decision-making
