Brisbane Airport is looking to fill 2000 positions – these are the jobs up for grabs

As we’ve seen in recent months, the process of catching a flight has become increasingly chaotic.

Delays, cancellations, lost baggage and lengthy queues have plagued the travel sector this year, largely due to a severe shortage of labour, exacerbated by thousands of workers being made redundant during the pandemic.

Airports are now in overdrive to scale up and find staff with plenty of jobs waiting to be filled.

Brisbane Airport is recruiting as many as 2000 people for a variety of positions ranging from engineers to gardeners.

“We’re looking for virtually every job you find at an airport,” Brisbane Airport CEO Gert-Jan de Graaff told Sunrise.

“From airline crew to baggage handlers, from people working in our retail stores to engineers and accountants.

“Across the board we’re looking for people because of the recovery of our industry, but also the future growth we’re expecting in the aviation industry.”

It’s also anticipated that as passenger traffic grows, another 10,000 people will be needed over the next decade.

“Aviation gets in your blood,” de Graaff said.

“It’s an exciting world… it’s so cool.”
