CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGER

If you have a passion for airports and know what makes them tick…we want to talk with you.

You may not know us but we’ve been quietly helping clients in the commercial aviation business for 30 years.

You must have the know how and experience to check design drawings and specifications, manage and run meetings, propose value engineering solutions that reduce project costs, and build and maintain positive working relationship with clients, stakeholders, and colleagues. You can expect to work in office settings, on construction sites, and throughout bustling terminals. Experience working in commercial aviation required…please and thank you.
