About the role

Come and join Aviapartner as a Ramp and Baggage Agent! Do you want to work in a dynamic but welcoming airport environment? Together with your colleagues, you will be responsible for loading and unloading aircraft. It's physical work, but of course it also involves thinking; baggage needs to be loaded onto the aircraft in the right place. Is this combination of thinking and physical work ideal for you? Then sign up now!

What you'll do

As a ramp agent, you are responsible for handling our passengers' baggage. One day you work in the baggage sorting area, but the next day you could be working on the apron—it's varied work! In the baggage sorting area, you ensure that all baggage is sorted by destination. Of course, we want baggage to reach the correct destination.

On the apron, you literally work "under the wings." As soon as the aircraft is in its parking position and the engines are shut down, you take action. You place chocks near the aircraft's wheels and put cones in the designated spots. Then you connect the ground power unit and position the stairs against the aircraft.

This is where your muscles come into play: you make sure baggage and cargo are unloaded from the aircraft. Once the aircraft is empty, the new baggage from departing passengers is loaded into the correct area of the aircraft so it can safely depart again. And, of course, all of this is done according to the procedures of the various airlines.

About the company & team

Aviapartner is one of the largest independent ground handling operators at 70 airports across 7 European countries (Belgium, France, Spain, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, and the Netherlands) and South Africa.

We are present at 15 airports, including the country's main ones: Madrid, Barcelona, Málaga, Valencia, Ibiza, Tenerife South, among others. We are a company with many opportunities.

Your profile

Physical work will be your strength, but you also need to think logically. You are strategic, and your safety and that of your colleagues is paramount. You will take on the challenge of loading aircraft on time. Shift work is not a problem for you. And if you have an affinity for aviation, you've come to the right place. Additionally, you will need:

- Minimum education level: ESO (Compulsory Secondary Education).

- Experience is not required, though it is valued.

- Availability to work on weekends.
