Our onsite Program Management team in Chicago, IL is looking to add an experienced and collaborative Utilities Coordination Manager in support of a multi-billion-dollar airport capital Redevelopment Program. The redevelopment will occur in the middle of an active airport and the existing terminal and concourses will remain operational while the new facility is built in place in a phased approach. This position allows for the opportunity to be a major contributor to the growth of one of the busiest airports in the world as part of the program management team.

Reporting into the Construction Manager, you will be responsible for leading a team of utility project managers, engineers, and CAD technicians while managing subconsultants who provide aviation IT and telecommunications support. You will oversee master planning, design coordination, base mapping, construction sequencing, and commissioning of utilities, ensuring alignment with airport operations.

Additionally, you will provide strategic guidance to senior leadership on utility policies and major decisions, contribute to the development of an updated agreement with ComEd, and participate in planning for an IT strategy. As the FAA liaison for the Utility Master Plan, you will oversee utility coordination across TAP and CIP projects and ensure utility technical reviews are conducted. Your responsibilities will also include managing the ongoing updates to the O’Hare Airport composite utility and base files to maintain accurate as-built records for all projects at the airport.
