We are seeking an Analyst to contribute to concept-level airport planning, functional spatial design and design focused project support across major aviation projects. 

The successful candidate will support the development of future airport designs by contributing to the delivery of high‑quality planning and operational solutions that improve efficiency, passenger experience and sustainability
The Analyst will work as a valued member of the Middle East Aviation team, assisting in project delivery activities and contributing to the preparation of innovative and efficient planning and design outputs. 

Airport Planning & Analytics

• Support the delivery of various project workstreams, with an initial focus on 
  contributing to the development of the Concept of Operations for DWC Phase2.
• Assist in conducting analytical assessments of airport operations, including 
  traffic profiles, flight schedules, dwell times and operational KPIs.
• Contribute to the preparation and interpretation of capacity and Level of 
  Service (LoS) assessments for terminal, airside, apron, landside and support 
  facilities.
• Support the development of multi‑scenario demand forecasts for passengers, 
  aircraft, cargo and general aviation operations.
• Assist in building and running simulation models (CAST, AirTOP, AviPlan or 
  equivalent) to assess flow performance, system efficiency and operational 
  resilience.
• Translate modelling outputs into clear insights and planning inputs under the 
  guidance of senior team members.
• Ensure data inputs, modelling assumptions and analysis workflows are 
  documented, validated and traceable.
• Contribute analytical inputs to airport masterplanning activities and long‑term 
  strategic studies.
• Support the definition of functional and spatial requirements for terminals, 
  airside, landside and support facilities in line with demand, ConOps principles 
  and regulatory standards.

• Assist in evaluating planning options, phasing strategies, expansion triggers 
  and performance trade‑offs.

  
  

  Design-Focused Project Support & Tender Preparation

  
  
• Support proposal preparation by contributing planning methodologies, scopes, 
  level-of-effort estimates, case studies and modelling insights that strengthen 
  aviation bids.
• Contribute to enhancing WSP’s internal planning practice by refining 
  templates, improving analytical workflows and sharing practical lessons learned 
  from projects

• A degree in Aviation Planning, Transport/Civil/Industrial Engineering, Architecture, Aviation Management or a related discipline.
• 3–5 years of experience in airport planning, capacity assessment, forecasting, 
  simulation modelling or airport masterplanning.
• Proficiency in analytical modelling, scenario development and data interpretation, supported by strong Excel skills and familiarity with AutoCAD/GIS.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to present technical findings to clients, multidisciplinary teams and senior stakeholders.
• Experience working with airport operators, airlines, regulators and cross disciplinary design teams, demonstrating balanced professional judgment.
• A collaborative approach and a genuine passion for aviation, airport 
  performance and data-driven planning.

Technical & Industry Knowledge

• Working knowledge of ICAO, FAA, IATA and aviation regulatory requirements.
  Experience with terminal planning concepts, passenger flow optimization, and 
  airport simulation modelling.
• Good understanding of digital tools including: AutoCAD, BIM, Revit, GIS, 
  AviPLAN, CAST, and other airport design tools.
• Hands-on experience with airport simulation and analytical tools (e.g., CAST, 
  AirTOP, AviPlan) and the ability to convert model outputs into clear planning 
  insights.
• Ability to assist in conducting and interpreting capacity and Level of Service 
  (LoS) assessments across terminal, airside, apron, landside and support facilities.

Regional & Sector Expertise

• Familiarity with the Middle East aviation sector and regional regulatory 
  requirements
