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

As a specialist in data analysis or forecasting, you will join 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 (covering 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 and competition issues, as well as market and strategic analyses for our clients.

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

With a strong forward workload of high-profile projects, we are expanding our team to support various exciting workstreams, helping our clients achieve successful and sustainable aviation services globally.

We believe in empowering our people and providing opportunities to excel. Being an employee-owned company means our team is dedicated and passionate, which keeps us at the industry forefront. We are always seeking new colleagues who share these values.

• Share knowledge and contribute to discipline development

What you'll be great at:

• Holding a degree in a discipline with strong analytical content such as Economics, Mathematics, Engineering, Operational Research, or Geography
• Having strong analytical aptitude and problem-solving skills
• Understanding and/or experience in developing quantitative scenarios and models
• Managing time effectively across multiple projects and deadlines
• Proficiency in oral and written English
• Good communication skills, capable of explaining technical details to non-technical audiences
