As a planner at Reid Planning, Inc., I conducted field research on naval installations and produced planning documents for use by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC). In the field, I verified asset dimensions, performed on-site asset evaluations, and interviewed key military personnel to assess needs to complete missions. I updated property records and performed asset evaluations, based on field data, using NAVFAC-issued software. I generated Basic Facility Requirements (BFRs) for naval facilities, created site graphics using GIS, and reviewed project documents for accuracy and consistency.
