350 jobs coming to East Midlands Airport

East Midlands Airport (EMA) and several neighbouring businesses are looking to recruit for over 350 vacancies.

The airport says it will create hundreds of passenger services, security and car parking jobs.

On-site retailers such as World Duty Free, food outlets Autogrill, Greggs and Frankie and Benny’s, airline JET2 and check-in agents Swissport are also looking to add new faces.

In addition, UPS and DHL, who both have a large presence at the airport, want to fill more cargo handling roles.

A jobs fair for interested parties will take place at EMA on Saturday 1 February between 10am and 2pm.

Colleen Hempson, East Midlands Airport’s corporate social responsibility manager, said: “Serving just under 5 million passengers a year and as the UK’s busiest dedicated freight airport, the 24-hour operation makes it one of the most diverse businesses to work for in this region. With so many varied roles on offer plus careers and skills advice, the jobs fair is a great event for finding out what it’s like to work or train here.”
