Job description
Due to continued growth across our cargo, import, and e-commerce operations, we’re looking for motivated and enthusiastic Warehouse Operatives to join our expanding team at Terminal E on an initial six month fixed term contract.
This is more than a warehouse role. It’s an opportunity to become part of one of Scotland’s most dynamic aviation environments, working at the heart of an operation that connects businesses, airlines, and customers across the globe.
You’ll play a vital role in ensuring freight moves safely, securely, and efficiently through Glasgow Prestwick Airport.
Whether you already have warehouse experience or are looking to build a long-term career in logistics, aviation, and cargo handling, we’ll provide the training, support, and experience you need to succeed.
Glasgow Prestwick Airport directly employs around 500 people and supports over 4,000 jobs across Scotland’s aerospace cluster. Located at the heart of Scotland’s aviation and aerospace industry, we deliver a wide range of in-house aviation services, providing vital connections to the rest of the world.

Your role goes beyond simply moving freight — you help maintain the high standards our airline partners and customers rely on. With a strong attention to detail and commitment to doing things the right way, you’ll ensure that all goods are handled with care, any issues are identified quickly, and operations run smoothly. Whether transferring freight from the aircraft or preparing freight for onward transport to last mile providers, your contribution is vital to the overall success of the operation. You are not just handling cargo; you are representing the airport and our partners by delivering a safe, efficient, and professional service at every stage of the process.
