UK's second-largest airport managing critical infrastructure upgrades
London Gatwick operates the UK's second-largest airport with a 1,001–5,000-person workforce focused on infrastructure modernization. The active project portfolio is heavily weighted toward runways, taxiways, asset replacement, and operational systems upgrades—reflecting a multi-year capital program typical of major transport hubs. The hiring mix skews toward operations and engineering roles at senior/mid levels, suggesting sustained execution pressure on concurrent construction and civils work while managing compliance and cost control across high-value programs.
