Staff sought!Jobs To Be Had At Berlin Brandenburg Airport

Only 97 days to go until Berlin Brandenburg Airport finally opens, and there are still several hundred employees to be found for the new airport. Both external aviation companies (airlines, ground handling services and aviation technology specialists) and non-aviation operations (retailers, catering outlets and service providers) at and around the airport have vacancies to be filled.

The list of job profiles and qualifications is a long one. The non-aviation sector is seeking sales assistants, retail employees, branch managers, secretaries and office staff. Hotels and catering outlets are looking for cooks, kitchen helps, qualified restaurant staff, qualified hotel staff, hotel pages, night porters and convention sales managers. There are also interesting opportunities for hairdressers, florists, commercial and technical pharmaceutical assistants and pharmacists. What the aviation sector particularly needs at present are aircraft mechanics and electricians as well flight attendants.

Candidates applying to Berlin Brandenburg Airport must have a good working knowledge of English and be prepared to work shifts. A police certificate of good conduct is also essential for the mandatory security check.

A representative selection of current vacancies is posted on the airport’s homepage at: http://jobboerse.berlin-airport.de. This information is regularly updated, so it is worthwhile taking a weekly look at the website.
