JOB OBJECTIVE
The operational efficiency safety and passenger experience of airports undergoing refurbishment or modernization is a critical success factor for airport authorities and aviation stakeholders. It relies on a comprehensive understanding of terminal operations airside/landside processes regulatory compliance (ICAO IATA ACI) capacity planning passenger flow modeling baggage and cargo systems aviation security operational technologies (AODB RMS FIDS BHS) and multi-stakeholder coordination across live brownfield environments.
The projects associated with airport refurbishment and expansion are highly complex phased and multi-disciplinary in nature and require deep operational expertise systems thinking and the ability to translate operational requirements into robust architectures technical specifications and Target Operating Models that will govern airport performance for 15-30 years.
The role of the Airport Operations Architect is to ensure the overall operational coherence and long-term viability of these projects by acting as the operational Design Authority defining future-state Concepts of Operations (CONOPS) ensuring alignment of all stakeholders and engineering disciplines and guaranteeing that the refurbished airport will meet international standards capacity targets and service level commitments throughout its operational lifecycle.
ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES
- Act as theOperational Design Authorityfor the airport refurbishment or modernization program ensuring that all design architecture systems and infrastructure decisions are operationally sound compliant and fit-for-purpose over the project lifecycle.
- Define and structure theTarget Operating Model (TOM)andConcept of Operations (CONOPS)for the future-state airport covering terminal airside landside back-of-house and technical/operational systems in coordination with airport authority airlines ground handlers and regulatory agencies.
- Leadcomprehensive operational functional and capacity assessmentsof existing facilities and systems benchmarking performance against ICAO IATA and ACI standards and identifying gaps bottlenecks non-compliances and strategic improvement opportunities.
- Translate operational requirements and service level objectives intotechnical and functional specificationsfor passenger processing systems baggage and cargo handling operational IT systems (AODB RMS FIDS) security and border control ICT backbone and terminal/airside/landside layouts and facilities.
- Coordinateinternal and external partners(airport authority airlines security agencies air navigation service providers engineering and architectural consultants systems integrators) to achieve a coherent operational vision and ensure alignment across all project disciplines (architecture MEP ICT security).
- Participate in thecosting and commercial structuringof operational solutions ensuring competitiveness and value-for-money while maintaining operational integrity and contributing to Work Package definitions RFP documentation and procurement strategies.
- Oversee the choice of operational and technical solutions in acontext of long-term planning(15-30 year horizons) balancing innovation scalability resilience and operational continuity while maintaining a pragmatic phased approach to implementation in live airport environments.
- Communicate and defend operational solutions in support ofproject strategy senior leadership government authorities and regulatory bodies ensuring that operational recommendations are credible evidence-based and aligned with the airports strategic objectives and passenger experience goals.
- Participate in and guideoperational policy and governancefor the project including phasing strategies operational continuity planning during construction ORAT (Operational Readiness and Airport Transfer) programs and post-implementation performance monitoring and optimization.
WORK EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENTS
12-15 years of experience in airport operations terminal management airport planning or aviation infrastructure consulting including at least 5 years in senior operational or technical leadership roles (Head of Operations Operations Manager Lead Consultant or Design Authority) on major airport refurbishment expansion or greenfield programs.
QUALIFICATION CERTIFICATION & EDUCATIONAL REQUIREMENTS
Bachelors degree in Airport Management Aviation / Aeronautical Engineering Industrial Engineering Transport Planning Systems Engineering or a related discipline.
Masters degree in aviation transport systems engineering or related field is strongly preferred.
Professional certifications such as ACI AMPAP (Airport Management Professional Accreditation Programme) ICAO AVSEC PMP PRINCE2 or equivalent aviation/project management credentials are highly desirable.
PREFERRED SKILLS
The qualities needed to succeed in this role are:
- Astructured systems-thinking approachto airport operational architectures including mastery of operational modeling and simulation tools (CAST SIMMOD or equivalent) capacity and Level of Service analysis and the ability to decompose complex multi-stakeholder operational requirements into coherent technical specifications and design inputs.
-Wide-ranging technical and operational expertiseacross airport domains: terminal operations (passenger flows check-in security immigration boarding baggage claim) airside operations (apron stands GSE refueling airfield lighting NAVAIDs) landside interfaces (curbside parking public transport) baggage and cargo systems (BHS CHS sortation EDS) and operational IT systems (AODB RMS FIDS resource management operational control centers).
- Adeep understanding of international aviation standards and best practices(ICAO Annexes 9 14 17 Doc 9157; IATA ADRM LoS standards Ground Operations Manual; ACI policies and benchmarks) with the ability to interpret apply and defend compliance positions in front of regulators airport authorities and government stakeholders.
- The ability toanalyze operational needs demand scenarios and growth forecasts and to extract robust future-proof technical requirements design constraints and performance KPIs that will guide architecture engineering and systems integration over the full project lifecycle.
- The ability tolead and influence multi-disciplinary teams and stakeholders including airport operators airlines ground handlers security agencies consultants (architecture engineering systems) and contractors ensuring operational requirements are understood prioritized and embedded in all project deliverables.
- Aninnovative forward-looking visionwith a 15-30 year solution-building perspective (anticipating growth new aircraft types evolving passenger expectations digital transformation automation sustainability) while maintaining apragmatic phased and risk-managed approachto implementation in constrained brownfield environments with operational continuity requirements.
- Astrong capacity for communication persuasion and credibilitythat will support operational strategy defend design choices and lend authority to recommendations presented to senior management government authorities and international regulatory bodies.
-Excellent documentation and specification writing skills with the ability to produce clear structured and defensible operational studies Target Operating Models Concepts of Operations technical specifications Work Package definitions and RFP requirements that will guide procurement design and implementation.
