Airspace Design Architect

You will lead the Airspace Design Cell, which is responsible for initiating and overseeing airspace design projects. You will play a key role in the transformation of the national airspace, ensuring that design projects are strategically aligned with skeyes' long-term objectives, while remaining closely coordinated with the operational realities managed by the Operations department.

Development of a strategic approach to airspace design and optimisation:

• Long-term planning (Airspace Master Planning): developing an overall strategy for an interconnected, high-performance, scalable and sustainable airspace structure;
• Prioritisation: identifying and prioritising airspace revision needs, considering performance, safety, capacity and efficiency objectives;
• Inventory and monitoring of changes: maintaining an inventory of changes and change projects impacting operations or the financial situation and monitoring their implementation;
• Impact analysis: assessing the effects of planned changes on airspace structure, safety, efficiency, capacity and the environment;
• Simulation and validation: carrying out simulations of planned changes using specialised tools to assess their feasibility, benefits and risks.

Regulatory compliance and innovation:

• Compliance with international standards: ensuring that all design projects comply with applicable regulations (ICAO, EASA, national authority);
• Regulatory anticipation: monitoring regulatory developments and adapting the design strategy accordingly;
• Strategic innovation: identifying and integrating innovative solutions to meet operational and environmental challenges.

Coordination and collaboration with stakeholders:

• Internal collaboration: working in close coordination with Operations, Flight Procedure Design and other key functions, to ensure that proposed designs are aligned with operational realities and needs.

Airspace Design Cell management:

• Structuring and managing the Airspace Design Cell;
• Defining the priorities, methodology and design standards used within the cell;
• Acting as the strategic focal point for all airspace design topics.

Launch and supervision of design projects:

• Identifying, planning and initiating new airspace design or revision projects in close collaboration with Operations;
• Ensuring that each project is consistent with national and international requirements;
• Supervising the smooth running of projects, in line with safety, capacity, environmental and efficiency constraints.

Working with Operations:

• Working in close coordination with the Operations department, which remains responsible for implementing design projects;
• Ensuring that the proposed designs are realistic, integrable and compatible with current operational processes;
• Organising coordination and validation points with operational stakeholders.

Coordination with external stakeholders:

• Representing skeyes in national, regional and European working groups related to airspace design;
• Coordinating with civil and military stakeholders, aircraft operators, regulators, technology partners and other ANSPs as applicable.
