• Take a lead role in administering and implementing the Weekly Works Scheduling Approvals process, ensuring operational teams are informed and engaged in the planning of airfield works.
• Support feasibility studies and assess operational impacts, constructability, project interfaces, and resource requirements.
• Assist in ensuring project scope and designs meet operational and regulatory requirements, including EASA, CAA and GAL Airfield Standards.
• Provide operational guidance to project teams, contractors, suppliers, and airfield systems specialists working in the live airfield environment.
• Support airport-wide communications relating to operationally impactful projects.
• Assist in the preparation, approval, and implementation of Airfield Works Instructions (AWIs and AWI Lite).
• Support the development and delivery of Airfield Operational Readiness Plans.
