As Newcastle Airport prepares to launch international flights later this year, the Australian Border Force (ABF) is on the hunt for Hunter locals to join the nation's border protection and customs service.
With an influx of passengers expected, the ABF Newcastle District Office is set to carry out customs and immigration clearances required for travellers passing in and out of the new international terminal.
Acting Assistant Commissioner East Rose Cracknell said she and the team are looking for people who have a keen interest in border protection and ABF functions, but want to live locally.
"We are looking for people to wear the ABF uniform with pride. This is our opportunity to showcase the Hunter region and our capability to an entirely new cohort of travellers and visitors," she said.
"This is an important support role for our officers, as we are often the first impression for international tourists arriving in Australia.
"We pride ourselves in making that a positive experience."
The roles on offer are casual and include a range of administrative and operational support duties, including processing passengers at Newcastle Airport and handling other support tasks.
The new two-storey international terminal is expected to open in August, featuring floor-to-ceiling glass with views to the Williamtown RAAF base.
Other features include a boarding bridge, a glass elevator, an underground baggage tunnel and duty-free retail.
Jetstar announced it would operate Newcastle Airport's first year-round international route in June, with direct flights to Bali starting from October 21.
Ms Cracknell said the opening of the terminal, with three international flights each week from October, means more officers will be needed on a casual, flexible basis.
"As well as working at the airport processing passengers, you will also have the opportunity to support a wide range of functions," she said.
"We are excited to offer these casual roles to Hunter-based residents and believe it will offer tremendous opportunities and open up a world of experiences for the successful candidates."
