- Ensure full compliance with contractual commitments, proactively managing risk, subcontractor performance, and dispute resolution
- Establish and enforce project frameworks, including quality assurance, reporting standards, and communication protocols
- Own project financial performance—monitoring schedules, budgets, billings, and forecasting to ensure profitability and timely delivery
- Serve as the primary client interface, building strong relationships with airport authorities, stakeholders, and regulatory agencies
- Identify and lead business development and capture efforts, including client presentations, proposal strategy, and qualifications development
- Oversee cross-functional coordination between technical teams, consultants, and external partners to deliver best-in-class solutions
- Lead, mentor, and develop project managers and technical staff, including workload planning and resource forecasting
