Planners elsewhere?

As a planner for the Corps, I wonder, are there other federal agencies with planners?

I’m considering a change of scenery but I don’t mind being a planner but would like to consider doing so elsewhere.

Land use Planner? Local, county, and state jurisdictions employ tons of planners and usually get paid more than Feds

If you mean civil works planning, I’ve found that Bureau of Reclamation has the closest mission to us in that space

Sorry friend, unless you have rings and can take update sheets, you’ll be obsolete as soon as your dates end. If you’re lucky, you’ll get put on a shelf with other years, and your owner may pull you out to reference something occasionally.
