Job Description:

Aviation Security Manager Leads a team of 30+ Full-time

Aviation security is a world where the small print matters and the stakes are high. We’re after someone who thrives there, keeping a regulated operation compliant, sharp and one step ahead.

You’ll own aviation security across the site: the policies, the screening, the audits, the incidents, and the relationships with the people who regulate us. You’ll lead around 8 supervisors and a wider team of about 30.

What you’ll do

  • Keep us compliant with DfT, CAA and customer requirements
  • Host CAA inspections and fix the root cause when audits flag something
  • Oversee screening of staff, vehicles and in-flight supplies
  • Run risk assessments, audits and incident investigations
  • Manage, develop and get the best from the security team

Must have

  • Hands-on X-ray screening experience in aviation (essential — it’s a complex area)
  • Proven aviation security management experience
  • Strong grasp of the regulations and compliance

Nice to have

  • In-Flight Supplies (IFS) experience — or strong aviation security knowledge in other disciplines
  • An existing relationship with the CAA or DfT
