Manager, Technology Infrastructure Modernization

1 Full-time, Permanent Position

Is This Role for You?

The Manager, Technology Infrastructure Modernization leads the planning and delivery of technology infrastructure modernization initiatives across the organization. The role translates business and operational needs into secure, resilient and scalable infrastructure solutions spanning networks, data centers, communication rooms, cloud and computing platforms, telecommunications, and supporting operational technology environments.

This is primarily a project and solution-delivery leadership role. The manager is accountable for the modernization portfolio from discovery and solution definition through procurement, implementation, transition and benefits realization. Day-to-day infrastructure operations, incident response and Tier 2 or Tier 3 support are not the primary focus; operational involvement is limited to enabling safe implementation, resolving project-related escalations and ensuring solutions are transitioned effectively to the teams responsible for ongoing support.

• Establish measurable scope, outcomes, milestones, resource plans and delivery accountabilities for each initiative.
• Monitor portfolio health, resolve cross-project dependencies and elevate decisions early to protect schedule, cost, quality and benefits.

Solution Architecture & Technical Delivery

• Lead the definition and delivery of modern infrastructure solutions across enterprise networking, wireless, data centre and communication-room environments, cloud and compute platforms, telecommunications, and related technology infrastructure.
• Ensure solution designs are secure, resilient, supportable, interoperable and fit for a mission‑critical airport environment.
• Coordinate technical discovery, options analysis, proof‑of‑concept work, detailed design, implementation planning, testing, commissioning and acceptance.
• Ensure modernization solutions meet architecture, cybersecurity, IT General Controls (ITGC), NIST‑aligned requirements, regulatory obligations and organizational standards.
