Program Management Services

Large programs demand specialized management. Planning, design, phasing, packaging, and construction must all be managed to optimize the value for every dollar spent, while constantly improving the quality and safety of a program.

Parsons is a world leader in large program management and is particularly recognized for its ability to shape and manage the execution of major, complex programs on operating airports. Detailed phasing, staging, and scheduling are required to expedite execution of the construction work while minimizing operational impacts on the airport, the airlines, the tenants, and—most important—the passengers. Parsons' in-depth understanding of the many interrelated elements of ongoing airport and airline operations, including FAA operating criteria and all airport-airline safety codes and practices, gives our aviation clients a strong sense of security and confidence.
