Dublin Airport hiring security staff and the wages aren't too shabby

A fantastic opportunity has opened up at Ireland’s largest airport in Dublin as some jobs have come up in one department, with a pretty decent pay package.

Dublin Airport is looking to recruit security staff, offering wages of a sweet €15.34 per hour, which will increase to €15.88 in April of this year. The starting salary for the role per annum is €31,993.10, however, this will then progress to €45,295.27 over a seven-year period.

Do not be discouraged if you want to take a chance at becoming a security officer but have never had security experience, as it is not a prerequisite for the job. All successful candidates for the role will be given full training.

The successful security officers will be responsible for screening all passengers and baggage, reporting any security issues, examining vehicles, screening airport supplies as well as any other issues that arise.

Ideally, any successful candidate will be available for a 24/7 shift environment as well as having excellent communication skills. They must also be professional in manner and behaviour amongst other things.

The role is permanent and there are three contract types on offer to suit people with different time constraints, such as a full 40-hour week or a 20-hour week for those who just need some extra shifts.

  • 40 hours weekly – 40 hours guaranteed but flexibility is required to work various shifts across a seven-day roster
  • 30-40 hours weekly – 30 hours guaranteed but flexibility required to work up to 40 hours across a seven-day roster
  • 20-hour weekend contract – Flexibility required to work various shifts across Friday, Saturday and Sunday

The selection process for these roles will include one online assessment, one interview in person, a five-year background check, garda vetting and pre-employment medical, which includes a colour vision test.
