WORK HISTORY
Project Manager @Heathrow
London Heathrow Airport, GB
Led delivery and strategic integration of Heathrow\'s airfield capital projects in live operations, shaping sequencing, logistics, governance and stakeholder alignment to protect operational performance. Accountable for end-to-end execution planning across complex, intrusive works, ensuring clear deliverables, roles and value-for-money delivery aligned to Heathrow\'s governance and handover requirements. Directed runway resurfacing delivery strategy and embedded sustainability into core delivery decisions, establishing a new benchmark for sustainable runway works. Led carbon reduction innovations across major civils projects, with estimated savings of over CO2 by embedding carbon thinking into design, logistics and methodology choices.Developed and led airfield logistics and material supply strategies to de-risk critical material supply constraints for major capital programmes on-airfield. Strengthened quality and delivery assurance by improving supply accountability and logistics resilience, responding to identified airfield material constraints (bottlenecks, capped output, and rejected loads impacting works). Provided programme-level performance reporting using project controls principles, including risk based oversight and readiness for commissioning and operational handover.Delivered cross-discipline integration (design, construction, commissioning) through expert teams, ensuring safe delivery and compliance in a live airfield environment. Captured learning and benefits to improve Heathrow\'s future delivery model, feeding innovations into reusable standards and future delivery baselines.

ABOUT AARON MCLEAN
I am a strategic project leader specialising in the planning, integration and delivery of complex infrastructure within live, safety-critical environments. My expertise lies in designing delivery systems that allow major capital programmes to be executed without compromising airport operations, safety or regulatory compliance. I currently work at Heathrow Airport, where I lead and integrate a portfolio of high-risk airfield infrastructure projects including runway resurfacing, taxiway construction, airfield systems, logistics and enabling works. I shape sequencing, logistics, governance and contractual mechanisms to ensure infrastructure can be delivered safely, efficiently and at scale within one of the worlds busiest airports. My career foundation spans military engineering, airport operations, aerodrome design and compliance, and aerodrome capital delivery, giving me a rare combination of operational credibility, regulatory understanding and commercial leadership. I am known for translating complex operational constraints into practical, deliverable infrastructure strategies that protect the operation whilst unlocking long-term capability.
