  • Minimum 2 years (Junior PM), 5 years (Mid-level PM), or 10+ years (Senior PM) of project management experience in construction or capital programs, with at least some experience in operational facilities.

  • Familiarity with aviation agency requirements, public bidding, and permitting processes.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite and Bluebeam; experience with PMIS platforms (Unifier, eBuilder, Prolog, or similar).
  • Strong interpersonal skills withthe ability to lead multi-disciplinary teams in complex environments.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Prior experience working on airport modernization or terminal improvement projects (e.g., refresh of finishes, MEP systems upgrades, signage/wayfinding, concessions, or digital interface improvements).
  • Knowledge of airport stakeholder engagement, phasing, and safety management within TSA-secured or airside zones.
  • Experience navigating agency approval processes with FAA, NEPA, CEQA, local airport authorities, or city departments.

Certifications such as PMP, CCM, PE, AAAE, or LEED are strongly preferred.
