• An ability to explain the analysis to a non-technical audience
• The ability to support tasks independently
• An ability to work under a flexible (agile) working arrangement both in office and remotely
• Excellent verbal communication skills, which allow you to confidently liaise with clients and colleagues
• Excellent written communication and attention to detail, being able to oversee the development of excel models and PowerPoint presentations, supporting telling the story and connecting it back to the client’s challenge of us
• Advanced user of Word, PowerPoint and Excel (Power BI desirable)
• Demonstrated ability to pick up or investigate / research things such as coding and other analytics-related tasks to support project delivery

Experience with other software including AviPlan, Infraworks, Navisworks, Revit and/or 3D visualisation tools will be favourably considered.

EQUALITY, DIVERSITY, AND INCLUSION

We put equality, diversity, and inclusion at the heart of our business, seeking to promote fair employment procedures and practices to ensure equal opportunities for all.

Our exciting role in the Aviation Advisory and Data Analytics/Forecasting team will mean that our new employee can demonstrate an ability to conduct forecasting, airport capacity optimisation and analysis to support tasks such as delivery of often complex multi-disciplinary projects and discussion with their stakeholders. You’ll also be supporting the delivery of capacity analysis projects, modelling and detailing facility requirements and level of service outcomes, building and using airport simulation modelling tools and techniques whilst using your understanding of aviation market data sources to identify their respective uses and suitability for internal and external use.

As part of your role, you are likely to get involved with the following tasks:

• Engaging with aviation clients, demonstrating your knowledge of the models you have developed in support of project delivery
• Writing high quality technical and market related reports and proposals and supporting the presentation of project material to colleagues and clients
• Further develop in-house built Forecasting and Capacity Optimisation Tools
• Contribute to internal benchmarking databases across the aviation community to best serve our projects

• Support the engagement and management of subconsultants
• Undertake client visits both domestically and abroad in support of project delivery and client relationship development and enhancement (where applicable)
• Perform high level analytics in support of a range of advisory-related tasks detailing justifications in the data, discrepancies and possible enhancements to the data to ensure that work completed demonstrates solid thinking and problem solving skills
