• Coordinating with operations, maintenance, and airport teams
• Ensuring all communication channels (PA systems, radios, intercoms) are ready and functioning
• Contributing to basic reporting and system monitoring activities

What success looks like in this role

• Passengers receive timely, clear, and consistent information
• Communication supports efficient operational recovery
• Stakeholders remain aligned during fast-changing situations
• Systems are checked regularly and ready for use
• Information is delivered confidently, even under pressure

• Quick thinker who can respond in real time without hesitation
• Customer-focused mindset with attention to detail
• Comfortable working in a structured, team-based environment
• Able to collaborate across operations, maintenance, and external partners
• Experience with radios, intercoms, or similar systems is helpful (not required)

Things you’ll enjoy

• A stable, union role with competitive hourly pay ($21.10/hour)
• A dynamic work environment where no two days are the same
• The opportunity to support critical airport transportation operations
• Working alongside experienced, supportive colleagues
