Job description

We’re the New Terminal One (NTO) at John F.

The $9+ billion first phase is the largest single asset project financing in US history.


It will be built on sites now occupied by Terminal 1, Terminal 2, and the former Terminal 3, where it will anchor JFK’s south side. Construction will take place in phases, with the first phase, including the new arrivals and departures hall and first set of new gates, expected to open in 2026.

  • Sustainably designed and future focused
  • Featuring expansive, naturally lit public spaces

  • The capability to work independently, managing multiple priorities and deadlines efficiently.
  • Exceptional organizational skills.
  • A proactive, detail-oriented approach with a commitment to high-quality work.
  • A strong understanding of corporate governance principles and legal compliance requirements.
  • Robust analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite and familiarity with legal research, contract management, and risk management tools.
