More than 1,000 employment opportunities at Edinburgh Airport will be advertised over the coming weeks, as it launches a recruitment campaign ahead of the expected recovery of travel this year.
The positions include aviation security officers, car park staff and customer service positions, with the campaign featuring staff who have started in various positions and moved into new roles within the airport.
Adverts are currently running across social and broadcast media and will continue over the coming weeks and months.
Of the 1,000 posts, over 200 of those will be airport specific, with the others available across the airport campus with external partners currently advertising opportunities with retailers, handling agents and others.
The airport’s recruitment centre will also work with applicants to signpost them to the various jobs at the airport by looking at applications and CVs and recommending vacancies which fit their skillsets.
Gordon Dewar, chief executive of Edinburgh Airport said: “Aviation has felt the full force of the pandemic with almost two thousand jobs across the airport and our campus partners being lost as travel came to a complete stand still.
“There are encouraging signs of a recovery in 2022 due to a pent-up demand for travel following two years of uncertainty, and we are seeing new and established routes arriving and resuming.
“We are confident the campaign will help us reposition the airport in a strong place to recover and play our part in the recovery of the UK and Scottish economies.”
