Airfield Pavement Project Manager Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Strategic Advisor - Airport & Airfield Pavement Infrastructure

Location: Independent Contractor - Remote

About us

At Niricson, we are redefining the future of civil infrastructure maintenance. Using proprietary sensing technology and AI-powered analytics, we help asset owners make smarter, faster, and safer decisions for critical infrastructure such as bridges, dams and spillways, tunnels, airfields, and more.

As we scale across North America and beyond, we are seeking experienced, well-connected industry advisors to guide our growth, validate our approach, and connect us with the people and problems that matter most.

About the role

We are looking for a Strategic Advisor with deep expertise in airport or airfield infrastructure management. Ideally, someone with experience in asset ownership, engineering leadership, or large-scale infrastructure portfolios.

This is a flexible, advisory engagement. You will work closely with Niricson's Chief Sales Officer and leadership team to provide strategic insights, industry credibility, and introductions that accelerate our market penetration and alignment with customer needs. The advisor will be expected to provide information on how specific clients make decisions, who the key decision makers are, and when key opportunities are expected to be announced. The advisor may also provide information on proper positioning and messaging to key decision-makers.

This role is perfect for someone semi-retired, transitioning from public service or consulting independently, who wants to remain engaged in the industry in a meaningful, non-operational capacity.

Key Contributions

• Provide strategic information on proper messaging, decision-makers, and bidding opportunities for clients
• Advise on engagement strategies with aviation authorities or airport operators
• Offer industry insights on market trends, procurement processes, and regulatory considerations for positioning Niricson's Product
• Support credibility-building with potential clients (e.g., participate in key meetings, webinars, and white papers)
• Introduce Niricson to relevant stakeholders and potential partners, including airport authorities, government aviation bodies, and airfield operations executives
• Collaborate on industry events, speaking opportunities, or roundtables where relevant
• Offer independent feedback on product-market fit and key customer pain points
• Provide introductions to key decision makers and leadership

Who You Are

• 15+ years of experience in airport operations, airfield engineering, aviation infrastructure, asset management, or public sector leadership
• Former Director, Executive, or Asset Owner in a relevant agency or organization
• Deep understanding of government procurement processes and operational realities of asset management
• Respected in the industry, with an established professional network
• Strong communication skills and the ability to act as a trusted advisor
• Comfortable working independently under a services agreement (not as an employee)

Engagement Structure

This is an independent contractor role and is not considered employment under Canadian law.

As such:

• You will enter into a subcontract for services with Niricson
• You will invoice for your time collaborating with the team
• You are responsible for your own tax filings, business registration, and applicable insurance

What We Offer

• A chance to influence the future of civil infrastructure and condition maintenance
• A collaborative and respectful leadership team that values your expertise
• Flexible, remote engagement
• Competitive advisory compensation structure
• Opportunity to help shape safer, longer-lasting infrastructure around the world

Diversity and Inclusion

Niricson values the unique experience of professionals from all backgrounds. We strongly encourage expressions of interest from equity-deserving groups, including indigenous peoples, racialized individuals, women, persons with disabilities, and 2SLGBTQIA+ communities.

We're a close-knit, mission-driven team that celebrates curiosity, diversity, and excellence.
