• Develop and manage project schedules, budgets, scopes, and risk management plans.
• Ensure tenant requirements are incorporated into project planning while maintaining compliance with airport standards and operational requirements.
• Coordinate multidisciplinary design consultants and construction teams.
• Facilitate stakeholder meetings and resolve technical, operational, and scheduling issues.
• Monitor project performance, budgets, schedules, quality, and safety objectives.
• Review design documents, technical submissions, change orders, and contractor deliverables.
• Support construction administration and field coordination within active airport facilities.
• Prepare executive reports and project updates for client leadership.

Qualifications Required

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Architecture, Construction Management, or a related discipline.
• 10+ years of project management experience, including significant experience delivering projects within airport environments.

• Experience managing tenant improvement projects for major airport operators or aviation clients.
• Project Management Professional (PMP) certification.
• Experience with Design-Bid-Build, Design-Build, or Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) delivery methods.

• Passenger airlines
• Airport concessions and retail operators
• Ground support service providers
• Federal agencies and regulatory stakeholders
• Commercial office and operational tenants

You understand the importance of maintaining strong client relationships while balancing operational continuity, security requirements, construction activities, and project objectives within an active airport environment.

You are an experienced aviation project manager who excels at navigating complex stakeholder environments.
