Our onsite Program Management team in Chicago, IL is looking to add an experienced and collaborative Utilities Coordination Engineer in support of a multi-billion-dollar airport capital Redevelopment Program. The redevelopment will occur in the middle of an active airport and the existing terminal and concourses will remain operational while the new facility is built in place in a phased approach. This position allows for the opportunity to be a major contributor to the growth of one of the busiest airports in the world as part of the program management team.

You will assist in master planning, design coordination, base mapping, construction sequencing, and commissioning of utilities, ensuring alignment with airport operations. Your role includes coordinating with the FAA, ComEd, Peoples Gas, AT&T, and other third-party utilities to address scoping, scheduling, budgeting, and compliance matters. You will work closely with project managers, designers, and CMARs to support utility-related design and construction efforts, while also assessing site utilities across all O'Hare projects. Additionally, you will provide strategic guidance to senior leadership on utility policies and major decisions, contribute to the development of an updated agreement with ComEd, and participate in planning for an IT strategy. As the FAA liaison for the Utility Master Plan, you will oversee utility coordination across TAP and CIP projects and ensure utility technical reviews are conducted.
