Role Overview

airfield and landside infrastructure

Key Responsibilities

Design & Engineering

• Prepare

  detailed geometric designs

  for runways, taxiways, aprons, stands, airside roads, access roads, and parking layouts.
• Develop

  grading plans, cut-and-fill calculations, and earthworks balance

  for airside and landside areas.
• Produce Design drawings and

  BoQs (Bills of Quantities)

  extracted from

  BIM models

• Design

  airfield and landside signing & marking layouts

  in accordance with standards( ICAO/FAA/local standards)
• Support

  stand and gate design optimization

  , ensuring safe aircraft operations and adequate integration of fueling pits, ground power, pre-conditioned air (PCA), and GSE routes.

Simulation & Modeling

• Use

  AviPLAN

  for aircraft movement simulation, apron/stand clearance checks, and taxiway layout validation.
• Conduct

  GSE (Ground Support Equipment) simulations

  to optimize apron operations and gate service layouts.
• Apply

  BIM tools

  (Navisworks, Civil 3D) for 3D coordination, clash detection, and multi-discipline integration.

Codes, Standards & Compliance

• Apply

  international aviation and roads design standards and codes

  (ICAO, FAA, EASA, IATA, AASHTO…) directly in the design process.
