Airport Management

Airport and Transportation Managers

Transportation companies and agencies may need approval from government commissions before making changes. Managers represent their companies or agencies at hearings or meetings with these commissions or other governing bodies.

Storage and transportation managers interview, select, and train staff. They determine how many employees are needed and supervise their work. They make sure their company follows union rules. Managers work with unions to negotiate contracts or solve complaints.

Storage and transportation managers maintain their buildings, equipment, and vehicles. They inspect vehicles and buildings to make sure they are safe. When needed, they order repairs and purchase new equipment. They may also develop plans for security and warehouse expansions.

Managers have a mix of administrative duties. They:

• Bill clients
• Resolve customer complaints
• Apply for and report on grant funding
• Conduct strategic planning
• Write reports
