Welcome to CIMA+

A career in transportation goes way beyond concrete and steel. The work we do—planning, designing, and delivering projects that help people and goods move—shapes how communities and nations, grow and connect. Every road, bridge, airport, transit line, or port is a chance to build places that are safer, more sustainable, and ready for the future. The impact is real, and it’s global.

If you’re looking for a career that’s always moving forward, you’ll fit right in with a team that’s passionate about what transportation can become. We help turn big ideas into airports that work smarter and better—while helping your career take off along the way.

• Lead presentations and support public and stakeholder engagement activities, including consultation sessions.
• Conduct research, collect data, and carry out fieldwork and stakeholder engagement to support airport planning initiatives and build strong working relationships with clients, regulatory agencies, and airport authorities.
• Produce clear, well-structured reports, presentations, and project deliverables for airport planning studies.
• Provide technical guidance to planning and design teams, airport authorities, and airline clients, serving as a subject matter resource for airport operations.
