Job description

Cargo Security Officer for an International Airline

Schiphol

Every shipment has a destination. Be the professional Cargo Security Officer who ensures it gets there safely.

As a Cargo Security Officer, you are an essential part of the international air cargo of one of the most secured airlines in the world.

Every day, thousands of shipments go around the globe, on their way to their destination. Your responsibility is to ensure that each one meets the highest aviation security standards before it ever leaves the ground.

Working in a close-knit team of three to five colleagues, you’ll combine advanced technology with sharp attention to detail to keep shipments moving safely and efficiently. No two shifts are ever the same.

One moment you’re inspecting valuable electronics, the next you’re screening pharmaceutical products, oversized freight or unique international shipments. Every shipment presents a new challenge, making your work both dynamic and rewarding.

Every shift starts with a team briefing where you’ll review the day’s priorities and prepare for incoming cargo.

From the moment the shipments arrive, you oversee the complete security process. You verify documentation, inspect shipments, perform thorough security checks and ensure every package is checked according to our strict security regulations before it is cleared for transport.

Using modern screening technologies, including advanced X-ray systems, you’ll assess cargo with precision and make well considered decisions in situations where accuracy matters most.

While you’ll have times where you will work independently, you’ll always be supported by a team that values collaboration, trust and professionalism.

Together, you ensure every shipment departs safely and on schedule.
