Military community planners provide order to federal land development based on forecasted requirements just as an urban or community planner would do for a municipality. Both learn to think strategically about the best use of local resources to create feasible and economical short and long-term plans for their geographic locales and stakeholders. Where a military community planner differs is in the resources and methods used to forecast mission requirements, the dynamic technology and geopolitical drivers of those requirements, and the influence of mission dependency on facilities infrastructure investment decisions made at the congressional level.
Military community planner II is the second of three classification levels for this series. An eligible candidate possesses four or more years of prior relatable work experience and, at minimum, a bachelor’s degree in urban, regional, or community planning; transportation, environmental, energy, or sustainable planning or design; Architecture; Landscape Architecture; economics; civil engineering, or similar. Exposure to the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) community is preferred but not required. Anticipated tasks at this level may be guided, in collaboration with a team, or completed independently.
Primary responsibilities include independent collection and analysis of existing conditions data and developing facility requirements; guided or supervised development of project solutions, planning standards and project site alternatives; preparation and facilitation of planning workshop tasks, stakeholder briefs, and task meetings; and both illustrative and written component contributions to installation master planning documents. Data analysis may include real property and real estate asset and requirement projection; climate, storm surge, and flood inundation model impacts, personnel and equipment loading projection impacts on existing infrastructure; validation of natural resources and engineering special study findings and recommendations; and real property project list status. Data collection and planning workshop participation may require moderate travel both nationally and internationally. Site trip tasks may include interviews with key uniformed or civilian operations leadership; traffic and parking counts; housing area profiling; operational workflow illustration; new technology and equipment impact analysis; or facility condition, configuration, and requirement assessments at U.S. DoD and allied country military installations.
The qualified military community planner II is proficient in applied mathematics, able to direct or self-produce illustrative area development plans and project-specific renderings, and lead workshop breakout sessions or technical aspects of workshop facilitation. The ideal candidate clearly communicates (verbal, writing, tabular, graphics) existing conditions status, problem areas or risks for resolution, and recommends feasible solutions. Responsibilities may include oversight of individual project task completion, report section development under the guidance of a project manager or senior planner, or lead survey teams on site visits and project execution tasks.
