First job ads for reopened Doncaster Sheffield Airport go live after key funding confirmed
Ads have gone up for several key roles at the travel hub, due to reopen in the next few years
Job ads for several key roles at the soon-to-reopen Doncaster Sheffield Airport have gone live, the same week key funding for the project was confirmed.
South Yorkshire leaders met earlier this week to sign off on £160m worth of public money to get the travel hub back open.
A new operator for the airstrip, closed since 2022, has already been found.
Three key jobs, including Head of General Aviation and Cargo, Head of Fire Rescue and Emergency Planning and Head of Assets, are being advertised on Doncaster Council's website.
South Yorkshire Airport City Director, Christian Foster, said: “As Mayor Ros Jones said on Tuesday, which was an historic day for the city with the funding agreement of the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority, City of Doncaster Council is focused on delivering the airport.
“We now need to get the right people in place starting at the top tier in the executive structure. These jobs are vital to manage the comprehensive, technical, regulatory and legal operating requirements of an airport.
"This is the first tranche of recruitment and these roles will support the further roll out of jobs in the future.
“Each of the roles, as expected at this level, require high level expertise and a significant track record in delivery and experience.”
