Airlines, ground handlers, retailers and other providers at Melbourne Airport are on a hiring blitz and are hoping to fill hundreds of roles at its Jobs Fair on Thursday, May 18.
The airport is Victoria’s largest employment precinct outside of the Melbourne CBD, and the positions on offer range from cabin crew, front of house hospitality and retail, through to law enforcement, transport, and security.
More than 40 airport-based businesses are on the lookout for staff, welcoming resumes from entry-level applicants through to senior management.
Melbourne Airport chief executive Lorie Argus said it’s the perfect time to start a career in aviation, with passenger numbers on the rise.
“Not only are we seeing more people travelling, but we’re also renovating parts of the terminal, such as adding 11 new restaurants in Terminal 1, creating new retail and hospitality opportunities,” she said.
“Qantas, Jetstar, Rex, Bonza and Virgin all have vacancies to fill, and a couple of our international carriers are also recruiting.
“This is the first time we’ve held a careers fair on-airport, and it’s a great opportunity to get a feel for the environment and speak directly with employers.”
Melbourne Airport’s Jobs Fair will be held in front of Terminal 4 and will operate over two separate sessions from 2-4pm and 4-6pm.
Complimentary car parking will be available to guests at the event.
