The Manager of Airport Operation & Maintenance is responsible for the continuous asset reliability, engineering maintenance, and capacity optimization of all physical structures, utilities, specialized airport systems and mechanical\/electrical systems across the airport campus. This includes passenger terminals, cargo facilities, runways\/taxiways structural integrity, and specialized airport systems. The primary goal is to ensure 100% operational uptime, maximize asset lifespans, and strategically manage infrastructure capacity to accommodate long-term passenger, cargo and aircraft growth.<\/p>\n
Technical Systems & Assets Maintenance<\/p>\n
Preventive & Corrective Maintenance: Establish, execute, and monitor comprehensive maintenance management systems for preventative, predictive, and lifecycle maintenance across all airport assets.<\/p>\n
Specialized Aviation Systems: Ensure total operational availability of critical, specialized airport infrastructure, including:<\/p>\n
Baggage Handling Systems (BHS) and explosive detection screening lines.<\/p>\n
Passenger Gates and Chech-in<\/p>\n
HVAC & Climate Control systems to ensure passenger comfort.<\/p>\n
Flight information systems<\/p>\n
Airfield Infrastructure: Oversee the structural maintenance of runway\/taxiway pavements, asphalt sealing, drainage networks, and Airfield Ground Lighting (AGL) systems.<\/p>\n
Infrastructure and Facilities Capacity Management & Planning<\/p>\n
Bottleneck Analysis: Continually assess the physical capacity and flow limits of terminal spaces (e.g., check-in halls, security checkpoints, departure gates) against peak-hour passenger projections.<\/p>\n
Asset Lifecycle & Capital Expenditure (CapEx): Conduct detailed asset-condition assessments to forecast when multi-million dollar systems require overhaul or replacement, formulating the airport\u2019s 5-to-10-year CapEx budget.<\/p>\n
Utility & Energy Optimization: Monitor and manage the airport's utility consumption (electricity, water), implementing smart-building technologies and sustainability initiatives to reduce carbon footprints.<\/p>\n
Contractor Management & Regulatory Compliance<\/p>\n
Contract Enforcement: Manage relationship and performance metrics of third-party engineering contractors and original equipment manufacturers<\/p>\n
Compliance & Safety: Ensure all structural, electrical, and environmental systems strictly comply with national building codes, occupational health and safety regulations (OSHA), and civil aviation authority fire\/safety mandates.<\/p>\n
Education:<\/p>\n
Bachelor\u2019s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering, or Facilities Management.<\/p>\n
Experience:<\/p>\n
7\u201310 years of experience in large infrastructure or heavy facility management (e.g., airports, malls, or industrial facilities), with at least 3 years in a definitive engineering leadership capacity.<\/p>\n
Track Record:<\/p>\n
Proven experience in managing complex automated systems and executing major structural asset overhauls under live operational environments<\/p>\n
Advanced Systems Engineering: Experience with construction projects management, network systems and heavy electromechanical systems.<\/p>\n
Strategic Capacity Modeling: Ability to interpret master planning data, spatial constraints, and terminal flow mechanics to advise executive teams on structural expansions.<\/p>\n
Contractual Management: Masterful capability in drafting technical SLAs, managing complex engineering procurement contracts, and auditing vendor performance.<\/p>\n
High-Stakes Problem Solving: Ability to direct crisis-engineering teams during catastrophic infrastructure failures (e.g., terminal power blackouts or main systems outrages).<\/p>\n
Additional advantageous skills<\/p>\n
Valid certifications in IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR), Aircraft Turnaround Coordination, Weight & Balance\/Load Control<\/p>\n
