The Space Planning team is responsible for optimizing layouts and designs for R&D facilities, ensuring efficient workflows, and minimizing wasted space, all while adhering to safety and regulatory standards. As an Industrial Space Planner , you will conduct site assessments and develop detailed space plans collaborating with various stakeholders across the business. The right candidate has a history of managing multiple projects providing creative solutions that will optimize efficiency. ABOUT THE JOB  We are seeking a highly analytical and collaborative Industrial Space Planner to design, optimize, and scale our physical footprint. In this role, you will bridge the gap between engineering requirements and physical facility solutions across manufacturing and highly dynamic R&D/prototyping environments. You will partner directly with Division Leads to understand and forecast their business unit space needs, and collaborate closely with Industrial Engineers (IEs) to design and validate optimized layouts. Unlike traditional facilities roles, you will not simply document space requests; you will critically analyze, challenge, and validate them. You will ensure our manufacturing, R&D laboratories, and production environments are optimized for efficiency, safety, flexibility, and scalability. WHAT YOU’LL DO  Partner with key stakeholders to capture and forecast team space demands, and collaborate side-by-side with Industrial Engineers (IEs) on proposed space layouts. Evaluate incoming space requests and prioritize high-impact needs; critically challenge and validate requests against utilization metrics rather than simply executing them. Build capacity models, evaluate production/laboratory constraints, and develop future-state growth scenarios to support manufacturing ramp and R&D pipeline growth. Create facility master plans, block plans, and equipment layouts/test fits for warehouse, lab, and production spaces using AutoCAD and other planning tools.
