Airport-wide Hiring Day event coming to TPA on Oct. 1

Tampa International Airport and its tenant partners are preparing to build up staffing for the busy holiday travel season with a new Airport-wide Hiring Day event on Oct. 1.

More than a dozen employers, including aviation maintenance and repair company Airborne, parking services provider ABM and food-service company HMSHost are among the partners accepting applications to fill positions at retail shops, restaurants, ground handling services and other businesses at TPA. These employers combined will be looking to fill close to 200 open positions.

The Hillsborough County Aviation Authority, which operates TPA and Hillsborough County's three General Aviation airports, also will be looking to fill several positions. The Authority is especially looking for Florida-certified law enforcement officers to join the Tampa International Airport Police Department. HCAA job openings may be viewed here.

Some companies will conduct on-site interviews and applicants may be hired on the spot, so job seekers should bring two forms of identification.

TPA's Airport-wide Hiring Day will be from 9 a.m. to noon on Wednesday, Oct. 1, in the Main Terminal Event Space between the shuttle stations for Airsides E and F.

No RSVP is required to attend the event. Free parking will be available in the Economy Parking Garage and participants can take the SkyConnect train to the Main Terminal for the event.
