• Develop, manage, and regularly monitor detailed project schedules, budgets, work phasing plans, and resource allocations.

• Serve as the primary liaison with airport representatives, contractors, design teams, regulatory agencies, and internal project staff.
• Facilitate communication and problem‑solving to ensure timely resolution of issues affecting schedule, cost, or quality.
• Lead and mentor assistant project managers, inspectors, and support staff.
• Promote collaboration, accountability, and continuous professional development across the project team.

What You'll Need:
