Aviation planning sits at the intersection of transport, infrastructure and regulatory compliance — bring your expertise to consultancies delivering some of the UK's most significant airport projects.

Who We Are
Architecture Social is a specialist recruitment partner and professional community built for the built environment and infrastructure sectors. We partner with firms working on airport masterplanning, terminal design and aviation capacity studies. These clients regularly brief us to find planners with specialist knowledge of airport operations and aviation policy — often before roles are advertised.

What our clients typically ask for
• Experience in airport or aviation-related planning, whether masterplanning, safeguarding or operational planning
• Strong understanding of national and international aviation policy frameworks
• Ability to manage complex stakeholder relationships across public and private sectors
• Proficiency in GIS, AutoCAD or specialist aviation planning tools
• Excellent written communication for policy documents, planning statements and consultation responses
• Relevant qualifications in planning, transport or aviation management

If your career has been built around aviation infrastructure and navigating complex policy environments, we want to hear from you.
