Airport Firefighter

Providing an effective response to all emergencies and incidents that occur at the airport is the ultimate responsibility of the role of Airport Fire fighter. But there is much to it than that!

This is a role where no two days will be the same. It involves:

• Conducting regular airport and airfield inspections
• Driving and operating airport vehicles and equipment
• Wildlife management
• Close liaison with other Airport staff
• Undertaking maintenance of the airport facilities
• Assisting in the delivery of a quality customer experience
Escorting visitors and contractors

You don’t need to be a Fire Fighter; full training will be provided. You do, however, need to be cool, calm and collected under pressure. Oh, and fit! You need to have a good level of physical fitness, lots of the work is hands on and not necessarily fire fighter stuff. Other attributes we are looking for include;

• Good attention to detail
• Team player
• Initiative and good problem-solving skills
• Practical and hands on
• Basic Computer literacy
• A quick learner and ability to adapt
• Did we mention calm and physically fit?

This is shift work with that provides a good work/life balance, where you will work a morning or afternoon 4 days on, and two days off on a continuous rotation. Full training will be provided, and you have the chance to gain meaningful qualifications with progression opportunities.

You will join an established and well-functioning team who describe themselves as a family. The Airport Fire Service is committed to a diverse workforce and wish to encourage people of all genders to apply.
