Capital Regulatory Lead

Dublin Airport, the main entry point to Ireland and a prominent international hub linking Europe with the United States, has experienced significant growth in recent years. We are preparing for additional expansion and will be making substantial investments in our infrastructure over the next decade, which will include the enlargement of both our terminal and pier facilities, as well as supporting infrastructure aimed at accommodating growth sustainably while enhancing efficiency and the overall passenger experience, thereby providing a modern, world-class airport for Ireland.

The expense associated with this investment is ultimately funded through non-aeronautical revenue generation, in addition to passenger and operational charges. These charges, and consequently the investment costs, are evaluated and regulated by the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA). Therefore, our proposed infrastructure must be efficient in both design and cost, as our proposals are scrutinised by both our airline stakeholders and the regulatory authority from the project's inception through the preparation and issuance of a capital investment plan every five years. Furthermore, as larger and more complex projects progress through their project cycle, they will be part of a Stage-Gate consultation process requiring on going stakeholder consultation and assessment by the regulator. 

Reporting to the Head of Capital Planning, the Capital Regulatory Manager occupies a vital and dynamic senior position that shapes the future of Dublin Airport. This role involves leading and managing our engagements with airlines and other key stakeholders, including the IAA regulatory authority, while being responsible for securing the necessary capital approvals and funding to advance the infrastructure plans.  The individual in this position will have complete accountability for formulating strategies, executing processes, and achieving objectives to effectively manage the capital regulation process.
