CAREERS @CREDO

Credo is seeking a Campus Planner to join our campus planning team to transform space and place and help students and institutions thrive. Rather than traditional architectural or urban master planning, the Campus Planner plays an integral role in Credo’s efforts in the following areas:

• partnering with client institutions to identify a desired student experience and the physical campus that enables it.
• contributing as a member of a team of planners and designers, aiding our partner campuses in envisioning their future institution.
• utilizing innovative media, including two- and three-dimensional graphics, site and space studies, and diagramming to assist in the effective communication to campuses and constituents.
• developing solutions based on the application of strategic direction, data, and space utilization information.
• developing as a knowledge leader in transformative campus environments.
• understanding the future of the entire campus as a learning environment in higher education, with increasing awareness of the needs of various populations.
• integrating space and place into the broader context of Credo’s services including student success, enrollment, and strategic planning.

Current campus planning services include campus master planning, focused space use planning, classroom use analysis, and participation in other Credo projects where space and place have an impact on the student experience. The position will report to the Director of Campus Planning. Credo offers the opportunity to work in either our Whitsett, North Carolina or De Pere, Wisconsin office. Travel is required including between our offices in Wisconsin and North Carolina and our partner campuses.

Desired Skills & Experience:

• Architectural or Urban Planning Degree from an accredited U.S. college or university.
• Minimum seven to ten years of U.S. experience in campus planning, strategic, creative, and experimental use of space and place in higher education or similar complex learning environments.

• Demonstrable leadership, supervisory, and project management skills.

• Ability to convey strategic goals and experimental pedagogy to team members who create visual representations.
• Excellent writing skills and command of word processing, presentation, and publishing software (Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Adobe InDesign preferred).
• Understanding of higher education budgeting and capital project financing highly desired but not required.
