  • Support the development and review of baggage flow simulations, operational modelling, bottleneck assessments, and performance studies. Evaluate system efficiency, redundancy, maintainability, and operational flexibility under varying traffic scenarios.

  • Prepare technical specifications, performance requirements, employer's requirements, design criteria, tender documentation, and technical evaluation criteria for baggage handling system procurement. Support vendor evaluations and technical bid assessments.

  • Coordinate baggage handling systems with terminal architecture, structural systems, MEP services, ICT infrastructure, airport operational systems, security systems, airline operations, and other airport technologies. Manage interface requirements to ensure successful system integration.

  • Collaborate with airport operators, airlines, security authorities, system suppliers, terminal planners, and engineering teams to capture operational requirements and develop effective baggage handling solutions. Facilitate technical workshops and design reviews with key stakeholders.

  • Conduct assessments of existing baggage handling systems, identify operational constraints, evaluate system condition, and develop upgrade strategies for airport modernization and expansion programs. Recommend improvements to enhance operational efficiency, reliability, and capacity.

  • Monitor emerging baggage handling technologies, automation solutions, digital twins, predictive maintenance tools, and smart airport initiatives. Promote innovative and sustainable design approaches that improve baggage system performance and long-term operational value.
