  • Understanding of airport operational requirements and the ability to integrate these into structural designs.
  • Client Liaison Skills

  • Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills to manage relationships with airport authorities, contractors, and other stakeholders.
  • Ability to articulate complex technical concepts in layman’s terms for non-technical stakeholders.
  • Experience in conducting client meetings, presentations, and status updates.
