Job Summary: 

 

RS&H designs airports and aviation-related facilities throughout the US.  Aviation architecture often involves the integration of various building types and functions—such as civic, cultural, commercial, hospitality, office, retail, and interior spaces—within a single structure, creating a complex and multi-faceted environment.

 

We foster, value, and reward people who are creative, self-motivated, and collegial.  As an Aviation Architect with RS&H you will have the opportunity to deliver projects of various sizes and complexities.  Your work will be informed and supported by in-house planners, airfield and building engineers, and environmental specialists to ensure that all aspects of any aviation facility are accounted for and integrated into the design. This is a unique opportunity to join a team that will embrace your ideas to even better serve our great clients.

 

This opportunity is seeking a senior level candidate with previous PM experience to work on Aviation related projects with a focus on work at Orlando International Airport.  Additional area of focus will be to aid and support across multiple projects to ensure these projects conform to the client's requirements. This position must be capable of implementing the necessary management techniques required to fulfill this responsibility for the specific project.

 

 

Essential Functions:

  • Lead and contribute to the architectural design and development of medium to large-scale projects, applying foundational and advanced architectural concepts. Prepare and review detailed technical documentation, including drawings and specifications. Experience with a range of project types (e.g., commercial, institutional, transportation) is valued.
  • Work closely with clients to define project requirements and deliver design solutions that meet industry standards and client expectations. Prepare proposals and presentations, demonstrating your ability to address diverse project needs across various sectors.
  • Manage all aspects of project planning, including scope definition, budgeting, scheduling, and resource allocation. Coordinate with multi-disciplinary teams and external consultants to ensure project milestones are met. Experience in managing projects outside the aviation sector, such as commercial buildings, educational facilities, or large multi-family complexes, are applicable.
  • Mentor, guide and review the work of junior staff and technical team members to ensure accuracy and compliance with design standards. Conduct quality control reviews and field inspections to ensure alignment with architectural and engineering specifications. Experience in overseeing technical aspects of diverse project types is beneficial.  Competency in cross discipline coordination is preferrable.
  • Oversee project progress, address issues, and make adjustments as needed to maintain alignment with architectural plans and regulatory requirements. Perform site visits and inspections to ensure construction quality and adherence to project specifications. Experience with large-scale projects in various industries will be considered.
  • Lead and mentor small to medium-sized teams or multidisciplinary groups, promoting effective communication and collaboration throughout all project phases. Experience in leading teams across different project types and sectors is an asset.
  • Maintain professional registration and stay updated on industry standards, building codes, and regulations. Engage in continuous learning to advance skills in architecture and project management. Knowledge of diverse project types beyond aviation is encouraged.

 

Additional Responsibilities:

  • Build and maintain strong relationships with clients, ensuring their needs and expectations are met throughout the project lifecycle. Act as the primary contact for clients, addressing any concerns and providing timely updates.
  • Assist in identifying and pursuing new business opportunities. Contribute to proposals and presentations to secure new projects and expand the firm's client base.
  • Identify areas for improvement in project management processes and workflows. Propose and implement strategies to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and improve project outcomes.
  • Oversee the allocation and management of project resources, including personnel, materials, and budget. Ensure that projects are staffed appropriately and that resources are utilized effectively.
  • Identify potential risks and develop strategies to mitigate them. Proactively address any issues that arise during the project to minimize impact on timelines and budgets.
  • Represent the firm at industry events, conferences, and community meetings.
