- Develop and maintain a strong dataset of airport and aviation related development cost benchmarks to support the delivery of a trusted and robust cost advisory service.
- Support the aviation team to prepare cost related bid material as part of proposals and expressions of interest.
- Develop and nurture strong client relationships with buyers of cost services and oversee project and contract delivery.
Requirements

- Minimum 10 years of experience in cost planning or cost control, preferably in the aviation sector.
- Strong understanding of aviation infrastructure, operations, and regulatory frameworks.

- Advanced Excel and data analysis skills.
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management abilities.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
Preferred Qualifications

- Experience with airport or airline capital projects.
- Familiarity with ICAO, FAA, or EASA standards.
