ASSISTANT CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGER
Program Overview
If you know what makes an airports tick...we want to talk with you.
You may not know us but we've been quietly helping clients in the commercial aviation business for 30 years. AvAirPros is a privately-held, employee-owned consulting and services firm and we have an interesting, exciting, and challenging opportunity to join our team working on the $490M Terminal 1.5 Development Program at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).

Knowledge of building systems (mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, building automated systems, vertical transportation, lighting controls, security, baggage handling system) is required.
In this role you'll operate with significant independence and minimal supervision but have plenty of exposure to senior management to review progress and address issues.
