Acquired in 2009 by US-owned Global Infrastructure Group G.I.P, Gatwick is the World's busiest single runway airport. As the ‘jewel in the crown’ for its new multinational owners, Gatwick is immediately benefiting from major investment… both financially and in terms of operational improvement-focused management impetus… all aimed at creating a level of customer experience and increased capacity that is completely transforming Gatwick… rather than just seeking to improve it.
A £1 Billion capital investment budget has been committed - as part of an ongoing capital programme - in parallel with an accelerated drive to achieve dramatic forward steps in operational performance & customer experience. Dramatic steps, within the context of Gatwick’s leadership approach… one that seeks to engage the broader airport stakeholder community in a shared vision.
Within the operational structure of the Airport, separate management teams focus on each logical area of performance delivery - from Car Park to Take Off - each including its Head of Engineering Operations. Reporting to each of these functional heads is a close-knit team of high-level operational line managers whose core responsibilities are driving the performance of directly-employed technicians and sub-contract partners, together with the safety & reliability of the airport engineering assets these resources are focused-on…
It is envisaged that the successful candidates will combine strong engineering roots (HND/Degree & early career) with a progressive operational management career which includes strong evidence of building high performance teams, as well as a record of delivering significant process improvements in a large, complex, fast-paced operations environment. Other key factors are…

commitment to delivering successful results through your team.
