Hundreds of roles to be filled at Manchester airport jobs fair

Manchester airport will be seeking to fill more than 500 vacancies at a jobs fair next week.

Hundreds of additional jobs are also available with more than a dozen other businesses operating at the airport. 

Among those represented at the event on February 10 will be airlines, ground handlers, aviation contractors and service providers, including Jet2, Swissport, dnata, Stobart Aviation, ABM, Menzies and UK Border Force. 

Retail operators SSP, TRG, HMSHost and DUFRY will also be in attendance, alongside brands and eateries with outlets at the airport such as BarBurrito, Costa Coffee, Caffé Nero, Monsoon, WHSmith and Travelex. 

The event is scheduled for between 10am and 3pm at Old Trafford cricket ground. Attendees can book a place through the jobs fair’s Eventbrite page.

Manchester Airports Group chief people officer Cath Bailey said: “We’re really pleased to be holding this jobs fair to give as many people as possible access to the wide range of amazing opportunities we have on offer.

“With travel restrictions having been eased, we are expecting customer demand to bounce back very quickly and are recruiting ahead of what we hope will be a busy summer.

“If you have strong people skills, are self-motivated and have the ambition to build an exciting career in aviation, an airport job could be perfect for you – it’s a place that offers endless variety, bags of opportunity and a brilliant team who’ll support you all the way.

“We held a virtual jobs fair in January which was very well-received and booked up fast, so we’d advise potential attendees to book a place for this event without delay to avoid disappointment.”
