PROJECTS

Working across a complex portfolio of concurrent projects, Inovo supports AIAL with planning assurance, governance reporting, integration forecasts and risk assesments. This allows AIAL to plan and coordinate across the portfolio of projects and interrogate delivery risk comprehensively before capital commitment, and maintain strategic oversight once projects move into delivery.

The Inovo project controls team manage and maintain the Auckland Airport Capital Works Master Programme (CWMS), incorporating the development and maintenance of schedule and 4D visual programme.

As part of this role, Inovo provides cost-schedule risk integration across the programme to identify critical dependencies and support contingency planning across the wider portfolio. The team also prepares governance-level reporting to support oversight of programme performance, risk management and mitigation, and delivery confidence for key airport stakeholders. Inovo has worked alongside AIAL to define, document, and implement processes that strength project performance and ongoing performance monitoring.
