We are seeking a senior specialist with experience in simulating aircraft ground movements within airport environments. The role focuses on developing aircraft micro-simulation models to support airside planning, improve operational efficiency, and assess layout and procedural changes.
Key Responsibilities:
* Develop micro-simulation models for aircraft taxiing, pushback, towing, and stand operations
* Analyse ground movement flows, delays, stand occupancy, and runway usage
* Assess layout efficiency, conflict points, and turnaround operations
* Interpret and analyse flight schedules to model realistic aircraft movements
* Coordinate with airside planners, layout designers, and operational teams
* Deliver technical outputs, visualizations, and scenario assessments
Requirements:
* Minimum 10 years of experience in transport or airport simulation with a focus on aircraft ground movements
* Proficient in tools such as AirTop, CAST, or similar aircraft simulation software
* Strong understanding of aircraft operations, stand allocation, and apron procedures
* Ability to work with flight schedules, stands, and gate assignment logic
* Experience in runways assignment and runway capacity
* Skilled in interpreting airport layout drawings and integrating them into simulation models
* Effective communication and reporting abilities
