Job Vacancies at Brighton City Airport
We are the oldest continuous licensed airport in the UK with Harold Piffard courageously flying from here in 1910. The Airport stays true to its founders’ vision in the early 1900s: to create an aerodrome that would be available for expert and student aviators of all nations. Used by a diverse range of fixed-wing and rotary wing aircraft on a daily basis, Brighton City Airport proves to be the perfect gateway to the south coast of England.
We have a vibrant aviation community on site interspersed with some non-aviation businesses. This has created a diverse and inclusive workplace which is central to attracting talented employees and joint success. We promote a ‘just culture’ and have developed a workplace where employees feel respected and valued. Simply, it’s a great place to work!
Opportunities at the Airport
Whether you are just starting out or looking to build on an already successful career, Brighton City Airport could provide the perfect career opportunity for you. We are always looking for talented, qualified people to join our small, forward-thinking business.
Our unique culture is distinguished by a shared passion – aviation. No two days are the same, one day you could be greeting a celebrity or executive flight and on another supporting a training visit from a military aircraft.
Everyone on the Airport staff works together to deliver the best possible service, while always holding safety in the highest regard. See below for opportunities in the various Airport departments (Airport Operations, Administration and Support, Technical Services) as well as with other aviation businesses based on-site.
