The ideal candidate has hands-on experience at LAX or a comparable large hub airport, understands how IT infrastructure ties into day-to-day terminal operations, and has a track record of keeping complex, multi-party projects moving without disrupting airline operations.

• Coordinate contractors on scheduling, execution, and compliance with operational requirements
• Participate in project meetings, site walks, and operational briefings
• Track project progress, action items, and deliverables
• Support integration of airport equipment and systems with IT infrastructure
• Escalate risks, gaps, and coordination challenges as appropriate

What You Bring

• 15+ years of professional experience, preferably on airport or large-scale aviation projects
• Proven experience in Airport Operations at a major hub — LAX experience strongly preferred
• Deep knowledge of airport technology systems: SITA, FIDS, AODB, BHS, kiosks, gate/terminal equipment
• Experience in contractor management, stakeholder engagement, and cross-functional coordination
• Ability to translate operational needs into technology-driven solutions
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; comfortable with both technical and executive audiences
