About Steer

Do you have a passionate interest in the aviation sector, highly analytical mindset, strong communication skills and an ability to challenge assumptions?

As a specialist in data analysis or forecasting, you will be joining a highly motivated and friendly team providing advice to a wide range of private and public-sector clients, including airports, airlines, financial institutions, industry bodies, and economic regulators. Our work includes air traffic forecasts and business plans (aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenues, operating costs, EBITDA and capital investments) for airports and financial institutions, aviation policy and advice to regulators on a wide range of economic/competition issues, and market and strategic analysis to all our clients.

We provide strategic advice to aviation management on a range of financial/planning or economic issues, undertake evaluations (ex-ante, mid-term, ex-post) and impact assessments of aviation policies to support decision-making of regulators and develop long-term air traffic forecasts to support senior airport executives or financial institutions on transactions at existing and new airports across the world.

With a strong forward workload of high-profile project opportunities, we are delighted to be growing our team to support a range of exciting workstreams, helping our clients achieve successful and sustainable delivery of aviation services world-wide.

We believe in empowering our people and giving them the opportunities to shine. Being an employee-owned company means that our people are dedicated and passionate about what they do, and it is the reason why we are at the forefront of our industry. We are always looking to find new colleagues that share these values.
