We are looking for a reliable and physically fit Baggage Handler to join our airport ground operations team. As a Baggage Handler, you will play a crucial role in ensuring that passengers’ luggage is safely and efficiently loaded onto and unloaded from aircraft. This position requires attention to detail, the ability to work in a fast-paced environment, and a commitment to safety and teamwork.
Your primary duties will include handling baggage manually or using equipment, sorting luggage according to destination tags, and ensuring that all items are properly accounted for and transported to the correct aircraft or baggage claim area. You will also be responsible for reporting any damaged or unclaimed baggage and assisting with lost luggage procedures when necessary.
This role involves working outdoors in various weather conditions and may require early morning, late night, weekend, and holiday shifts. Physical stamina is essential, as the job involves lifting, bending, and standing for extended periods. You must also adhere to strict security protocols and airport regulations at all times.
To succeed in this role, you should be a team player with strong communication skills and a proactive attitude. Previous experience in a similar role is beneficial but not required, as on-the-job training will be provided.
