Our Legacy in Aviation

Q&D’s significant presence in the aviation sector began in 2004, cultivating a robust relationship with the Reno-Tahoe International Airport (RTIA). This collaboration deepened following the events of 9/11, when Q&D was selected as Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) for the complex In-Line Explosive Detection and Screening Project. This multi-year undertaking provided our team with invaluable experience in airport security protocols, intricate logistics, and the successful navigation of diverse stakeholder relationships, including major airlines like Southwest and United, as well as various concessionaires.

Since then, the Q&D Aviation Group has expanded its reach, successfully completing projects in over 100 airports across nearly every state. Our commitment to our founding principles underpins our continued success and reputation within this specialized field.

As an Aviation Project Manager at Q&D, you will be a pivotal leader, reporting directly to our Operations Manager or Project Director.

Your primary objective will be to ensure projects are delivered on time, within budget, and within scope, all while upholding Q&D's corporate values, vision, and strategic commitments.

You will be responsible for the comprehensive oversight of project phases, from inception to completion, establishing clear deadlines, assigning responsibilities, and meticulously monitoring progress. This position requires a sophisticated blend of skills, including the ability to ask incisive questions, discern unstated assumptions, adeptly resolve conflicts, and demonstrate superior general management capabilities. A successful Project Manager at Q&D is also proactive, consistently developing and implementing contingency plans for all potential scenarios.

A cornerstone of this role is the continuous and systematic assessment of risk. You will be expected to formally and informally measure project risks throughout their lifecycle, understanding that uncertainty directly impacts successful outcomes. We advocate for a policy of open communication as a primary risk mitigation strategy, ensuring all project team members are empowered to express opinions and concerns, and that stakeholders are appropriately advised and consulted.

Every decision you make, regardless of scale, must directly benefit the project, meticulously controlling risk and minimizing uncertainty. We seek an individual who brings a high degree of creativity and strategic thinking to the table. Your innovative approach will be crucial in enhancing the Aviation Group's reputation, as you assume ownership of new challenges and proactively identify opportunities to add value to every project.
