CNS/ATM Systems Engineer – New Airport Development Programme

Location: Athens, Greece (18 months) followed by Crete, Greece (minimum 2 years)
Salary: Competitive Base Salary Annual Accommodation Allowance
Type: Permanent
Visa Sponsorship: Available

Shape the Future of Air Traffic Management in Europe
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced CNS/ATM Systems Engineer to join a major international aviation consultancy supporting the delivery of a brand-new airport development in Crete, Greece.
This is a rare opportunity to be involved in the creation of a complete airport and Air Traffic Control infrastructure from concept through to operational readiness. Working as part of a highly visible programme, you will play a key role in the procurement, implementation, integration and commissioning of critical Communications, Navigation, Surveillance and Air Traffic Management systems.
This is not a maintenance or operational support role. It is a hands-on engineering position requiring strong technical expertise and the ability to challenge suppliers, solve complex integration issues and act as the client's technical authority throughout the programme lifecycle.

The Role
As CNS/ATM Systems Engineer, you will support the successful delivery of all ATM and CNS infrastructure required to bring the new airport into operation.
Your responsibilities will include:

• Reviewing and evaluating technical submissions from suppliers
• Providing technical oversight throughout procurement and implementation phases
• Challenging vendor assumptions and proposed solutions
• Identifying and mitigating integration and technical risks
• Supporting tender evaluations and supplier selection activities
• Managing technical interfaces between multiple ATM and CNS systems
• Acting as the client's technical authority during deployment and commissioning
• Supporting stakeholder engagement across suppliers, consultants and airport stakeholders

Systems Within Scope
CNS Systems

• Primary Surveillance Radar (PSR)
• Secondary Surveillance Radar (SSR)
• ADS-B
• Multilateration (MLAT)
• Voice Communication Systems (VCS)
• Navigation Aids
• Communications Infrastructure

ATM Systems

• Air Traffic Management Systems
• Surveillance Processing Systems
• Flight Data Processing Systems (FDPS)
• Controller Working Positions (CWP/ICWP)
• Airport Collaborative Decision Making (A-CDM)
• Advanced Surface Movement Guidance and Control Systems (A-SMGCS)
• Associated software and automation platforms

About You
We are seeking an experienced engineer who understands how ATM and CNS systems work at a technical level and can provide credible engineering challenge throughout the programme.

Essential Experience

• Proven experience within CNS and/or ATM engineering
• Experience working within an Air Traffic Management environment
• Systems integration experience
• Experience supporting ATM/CNS procurement, deployment or implementation programmes
• Airport or Air Navigation Service Provider (ANSP) experience
• Vendor and stakeholder management experience
• Strong communication and problem-solving skills

Highly Desirable

• New airport development experience
• ATC tower projects
• ATM software implementation programmes
• Safety assurance experience
• ICAO and EASA regulatory knowledge
• Tender evaluation and supplier assessment experience

What Makes This Opportunity Different?
This role offers the chance to help deliver an entirely new airport rather than supporting existing infrastructure.
You will join a specialist aviation consultancy team and work alongside experienced aviation consultants and technical experts, helping shape a critical piece of European aviation infrastructure from the ground up.
The successful individual will be comfortable working autonomously, solving complex problems and influencing major technical decisions throughout the programme lifecycle.

Package & Benefits

• Competitive Base Salary
• Annual Accommodation Allowance
• Visa Sponsorship Available
• Relocation Costs Covered
• Permanent Employment
• Opportunity to work on one of Europe's most significant airport development programmes
