• Manage and supervise daily site logistics operations, ensuring efficient flow of resources, timely delivery of materials, and compliance with project access and sequencing requirements.
• Liaise with construction teams, site supervisors, and security personnel to coordinate deliveries and vehicle movements in secure and restricted zones.
• Ensure the integrity of airside access protocols, including vehicle permits, escorts, and route control.
• Implement and monitor traffic management plans to control construction traffic within the airfield environment and maintain separation from live airside operations.
• Coordinate heavy equipment deliveries, offloading, and on-site mobilization with minimal disruption to ongoing works.
• Oversee fleet and plant logistics including fueling, maintenance zones, and parking/staging areas.
• Ensure all logistics activities adhere to HSE requirements, airport regulations, and airside safety protocols.
• Identify and mitigate risks related to vehicle movements, material handling, and temporary works.
• Promote safe working conditions and enforce compliance among subcontractors and third-party suppliers.
• Interface with airport authorities, contractors, project controls, and site teams to align logistics plans with overall construction strategy.
• Participate in logistics planning meetings, airside coordination groups, and daily briefings.
• Communicate clear and actionable information to logistics teams, drivers, and material suppliers.
• Maintain accurate logs of deliveries, equipment movements, access approvals, and logistics KPIs.
• Prepare weekly reports highlighting logistics performance, bottlenecks, and mitigation plans.
• Contribute to construction look-ahead planning by forecasting logistics requirements and constraints.

• Proficiency in tools such as MS Project, Excel, and logistics mapping software.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to adapt quickly in dynamic, high-pressure environments.
• Experience with airport construction logistics, especially in active or partially operational environments.
• Knowledge of ICAO, IATA, or FAA airside operational standards and construction constraints.
• Familiarity with GIS, GPS tracking, or logistics dashboards for real-time delivery monitoring.
