Due to the nature of the Aviation industry, much of the workload tends to be last minute and reactive to client demands. It is for this reason that we are looking for an individual who thrives under pressure and who enjoys undertaking a challenge.

Our industry is Customer Service driven and therefore we expect the highest standard of service from all of our team. You will report directly to the Ground Operations Manager. It is essential that candidates are driven, enthusiastic about multitasking and possess excellent organisational and communication skills with exceptional attention to detail. The company offers excellent progression opportunities for the right candidate.

Training is primarily provided in-house but we work closely with UKOMA, investing in our staff to offer further training in order to give a greater knowledge of the industry.

The position would suit someone educated to degree standard with an interest in aviation.
