About the Company
We are partnering with a leading technology provider in the digital air traffic management and advanced airport solutions space. This organisation is at the forefront of remote/digital tower technology and AI-enabled airfield systems, delivering mission-critical solutions to major international airports.

You’ll work directly with airport stakeholders and senior customer representatives, playing a key role in the delivery, integration and ongoing development of advanced airfield systems across Heathrow, Farnborough and Manchester.
This is not a siloed position - you’ll be involved across the full project lifecycle.
