Ferrovial Construction North America Engineering Services will act as the lead of the technical area of the JFK Airport project management office (PMO).
The technical team encompasses 18 people led by Fernando Santos. In this project, the team will: oversee the day-to-day management of all aspects of design and construction; serve as the principal point of contact with the design and build contractors (DB), working closely with them to reduce cost and risk; establish relationships with the Port Authority across all levels of the organization; maintain a risk register for cost and schedule, tracking risk owner and listing mitigation strategies and actions taken; work closely with the DB to maintain and improve the schedule for the project; coordinate with airline users, concessions managers and other terminal tenants on the design and construction, including fit-out; and review, comment on, and monitor the DB’s plans for safety, security, logistics, and quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC).
