A job vacancy which helps ensure Cornwall's airspace is operating safely is advertised at Cornwall Airport Newquay.

The airport is recruiting a trainee air traffic control operator. The post is advertised as full-time and will require shift work along with "a degree of flexibility" from the successful applicant.

Suitable candidates will ideally possess certain qualifications and experience.

Advertising the role on its website, Cornwall Airport Newquay says: "Ideally applicants will already hold a UK CAA ATCO licence with an ADI, an APP or APS rating and are willing to train towards gaining more endorsements.

"However, sponsorship towards a first rating may be available for a suitable candidate with extensive recent practical ATC experience."

Anyone fancying the role will also need an ATCO medical certificate. Other desirable attributes include four GCSEs, two A Level qualifications, and a sense of humour.


The closing date for applications is Friday, November 16.
