Job Description

Who are we?

Yes, we're an airport, but that's only part of the story. Without question, we are an organization on the precipice of great change, and on an upward trajectory that shows no sign of stopping anytime soon. We are a pivotal player in the economic health of our region, and we take that responsibility very seriously. We are about one year into an 8–10-year infrastructure program, MoreRNO, that will change the face of our airport for decades to come. We're not the City. We're not the County. We're not the airlines or the rental cars or the taxicabs or the shop owners. We are 290+ hard-working, innovative, and passionate people who take enormous pride in the work we do to operate the airport and to ensure that we have all the pieces in place to get people (and goods!) where they need to go in a safe, reliable, and secure fashion. This is an exciting role in a dynamic industry, and every day offers opportunities for leadership.
