  • Ongoing monitoring and assessment of sector and area planning to evaluate accommodation and facility needs.
  • Effective response to planning and development issues and concerns raised by schools and communities.
  • A strategic and collaborative approach to decision‑making, including engagement with internal and external stakeholders and participation in public meetings with communities and schools.

The CBE offers a flexible work program : up to three days per week may be worked remotely, with a minimum of two days in the office. At certain times, more in‑office days may be required.

What will you do?

Strategic

  • Lead the preparation of comprehensive planning documents such as the System Student Accommodation Plan and related reports that guide Board decision‑making and submissions to government partners.
  • Coordinate and lead planning studies, reviews, and initiatives addressing accommodation challenges, school site requirements, boundary adjustments, or capital project prioritization.
  • Provide expert advice and strategic recommendations to senior administration, the Board of Trustees, and other stakeholders on planning and accommodation matters.
  • Operational

  • Identify, coordinate, and manage the statistical, geographic, and demographic information necessary to support system‑level planning for student accommodation, capital projects, and urban growth.
  • Oversee the collection, analysis, and interpretation of enrolment, demographic, and development data to forecast future needs and inform long‑term facility, land use, and accommodation strategies.
  • Develop and refine forecasting models, planning methodologies, and monitoring tools to improve data accuracy, transparency, and decision‑making.
  • Proactively review and respond to municipal development applications, land use proposals, and infrastructure plans to ensure alignment with Board priorities and sufficient school capacity.
  • Leadership

  • Oversee the creation and use of dashboards, templates, and GIS mapping tools for data visualization, analysis, and communication.
  • Provide leadership, mentorship, and training to planning staff, fostering skill development and ensuring high‑quality analytical work.
  • Initiate and manage special projects or studies to address the needs and priorities of schools, communities, or emerging development areas.
  • Communication

  • Represent the Board on committees and task forces with municipal, provincial, and community partners, contributing to discussions on school sites, growth management, and long‑range planning.
  • Prepare and present detailed briefings, presentations, and reports to internal and external audiences, including Trustees, superintendents, school and area staff, government representatives, and community stakeholders.
  • Advise senior leadership on implications of operational decisions.
  • What are we looking for?

    Education and Experience

  • Completion of a university degree in urban planning, statistical demographic or business analysis, geography, engineering, architecture, or an equivalent discipline related to planning.
  • Minimum seven to ten years of progressively more responsible planning and analysis experience.
  • An understanding of school system accommodation requirements and organization, or experience in the public sector, is a strong and preferred asset.
  • An equivalent combination of directly related post‑secondary education and directly related experience may be considered.
  • Demonstrated Skills and Competencies

  • Successful leadership, planning, organization, coordination, and collaboration skills.
  • Trustworthiness and integrity.
  • Comfort with ambiguity and openness to change.
