The role requires flexibility and the ability to work shifts, which include early starts, late finishes (no night shifts) and weekend shifts, in order to meet the operational requirements of the airport.

The nature of this work requires the post holder to establish and maintain effective working relationships: with all departments within the Airport; with the Customer and/or customer representatives; with external agencies, specifically regulatory bodies, such as the CAA and with other relevant stakeholders.
