  • Provide safety oversight, including review and verification of the general contractor’s safety plan and implementation.
  • Support procurement, labor compliance, and DBE / SBE program tracking.
  • Other duties as assigned.

Position Expectations

  • Demonstrates expert‑level understanding of construction oversight, phasing, and site management on complex commercial or infrastructure projects.
  • Proactively identifies and resolves site and design conflicts in real time.
  • Maintains high accountability, reliability, and leadership presence on behalf of the client.
  • Offers operational insights to continuously improve project delivery, site coordination, and performance monitoring.
  • Embodies PMA’s standards for technical excellence, integrity, and client service.
  • Position Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Construction Management, Architecture, or related field required.
  • 5+ years of progressively responsible construction and project management experience in aviation, including airside, hangar, terminal, and capital infrastructure projects.
  • Experience acting as an Owner’s Representative and / or Project Manager on large, complex projects.
  • Proven track record overseeing contractors, managing trades, and maintaining schedule and specification compliance.
  • Experience with airside airport operations and FAA regulatory environments required; hangar construction experience preferred.
