Speculative Application – Aviation Planner
Shape the passenger journey, future-proof terminal capacity and help studios design next-generation airports.
Who We Are
Architecture Social is a recruitment partner and community for architects, designers—and the sector specialists who make complex infrastructure possible. From time to time our practice clients win air-hub commissions or join multidisciplinary airport consortia; when they do, they rely on Aviation Planners to translate traffic forecasts into phased masterplans and operationally sound terminal layouts. Even when those practices aren’t publicly hiring, they ask us to flag outstanding aviation-planning talent—so we keep an active shortlist.
What our clients typically ask for
Professional experience in airport or airfield masterplanning, terminal area planning or capacity analysis
Fluency with ICAO, IATA and local civil-aviation guidelines, plus confidence producing stand demand, apron layout and kerbside/landside flow studies
Working knowledge of specialist tools such as AviPLAN, AirTOP or CAST, alongside AutoCAD, Revit and GIS for drawing and data visualisation
Skill in passenger-flow modelling, demand forecasting and concept phasing that balances CAPEX, OPEX and sustainability goals
The communication finesse to liaise with airlines, regulators, operators and design teams—turning operational insight into clear design parameters
A solutions-focused attitude that anticipates future fleet mixes, security protocols and technology trends
If your portfolio shows data-driven insight, operational rigour and the creativity to future-proof air-travel experiences, we want to hear from you.
Why Register With Architecture Social
