Airport Firefighter

Providing an effective response to all emergencies and incidents that occur at the airport is the ultimate responsibility of the role of Airport Fire fighter. But there is much to it than that!

This is a role where no two days will be the same. It involves:
Conducting regular airport and airfield inspections
Driving and operating airport vehicles and equipment
Wildlife management
Close liaison with other Airport staff
Undertaking maintenance of the airport facilities
Assisting in the delivery of a quality customer experience
Escorting visitors and contractors

You don’t need to be a Fire Fighter; full training will be provided. You do, however, need to be cool, calm and collected under pressure. Oh, and fit! You need to have a good level of physical fitness, lots of the work is hands on and not necessarily fire fighter stuff. Other attributes we are looking for include;
Good attention to detail
Team player
Initiative and good problem-solving skills
Practical and hands on
Basic Computer literacy
A quick learner and ability to adapt
Did we mention calm and physically fit?

This is shift work with that provides a good work/life balance. After four early shifts you will have two days off and then work four afternoon/late shifts on a continuous rotation and includes weekends. Training will be provided, and you have the chance to gain meaningful qualifications with progression opportunities.

You will join an established and well-functioning team who describe themselves as a family. To apply for the role please send your CV and cover letter to Corey at operations@invercargillairport.co.nz - note do not apply through this advert.
