However, aviation also faces numerous complex issues.

ICF's aviation practice is one of the world's largest specialist aviation consulting teams. Aviation is inherently a global industry, and from our offices in the UK, US, India, and Spain, we work together as a single global team to provide comprehensive solutions.

The role is cross-functional within ICF, supporting teams across Airlines, Airports, Tourism organisations, MROs, governments, and NGOs. Broad experience within the aviation industry is advantageous.

Your responsibilities will also include administrative tasks like developing budgets and scopes of work, project tracking, and liaising with ICF’s Contracts and Finance teams (training provided). You will contribute to business development by building client relationships, working on proposals, attending conferences, and contributing to thought leadership.

• Train and develop junior staff.
