Job Description

Description:

Delavan Holdings is hiring an Airport Manager for Lake Lawn Airport (C59), a private, public-use non-towered general aviation airport located at Lake Lawn Resort in Delavan, WI.

We’re looking for someone with hands-on experience in general aviation airport operations, ideally at a small or non-towered airport, who can run the field day-to-day and guide practical redevelopment projects.

What You’ll Do

  • Oversee general aviation airport operations, including runway inspections, airfield maintenance, safety, and visitor services.
  • Manage projects such as runway improvements, lighting upgrades, fuel services, hangar development, and basic infrastructure enhancements.
  • Ensure appropriate FAA and state aviation compliance for a non-towered GA airport.
  • Build and manage GA services including fuel sales, hangar leasing, and flight-training partnerships.
  • Coordinate with vendors, contractors, WisDOT, and aviation stakeholders.
  • Work with Lake Lawn Resort to integrate aviation with hospitality, recreation, and guest experience.
  • Manage budgets, airport planning, and revenue opportunities typical for a small GA airport.
Requirements:

What We’re Looking For

  • Experience as an Airport Manager, Assistant Airport Manager, FBO Manager, Airfield Operations Manager, or similar GA operations role.
  • Background in non-towered airport operations or small-airport environments.
  • Ability to distinguish required FAA standards from optional improvements appropriate for a private GA field.
  • Strong understanding of GA operations, fuel systems, hangar operations, runway maintenance, and pilot/tenant relations.
  • Practical, hands-on operator who can scale solutions to the airport’s size and mission.
  • Strong communication and partnership skills.
  • Degree in Aviation Management, Airport Operations, Engineering, or related field a plu s.

Why Work Here

  • High autonomy with direct influence over airport operations and improvements.
  • Right-sized environment without the bureaucracy of commercial or Part 139 airports.
  • Opportunity to grow a general aviation airport that supports recreation, tourism, and community aviation.
  • Competitive compensation (discussed based on experience).
  • Work in Delavan, WI—a lake-country destination close to Milwaukee, Madison, and the Illinois border.
