'We're hiring!' Waterford Airport seeks candidates to fill two ‘key-roles’

WATERFORD AIRPORT is seeking candidates to fill two ‘key-roles’ within the airport’s senior management and accountancy department.

In an advertisement, it says it is seeking to fill ‘high-level’ positions as the airport prepares to returns to full commercial operation.

Waterford Airport has been closed to commercial air traffic pending a €30m redevelopment project involving the expansion and widening of its runway. It plans to resume commercial flights by summer 2027.

“This is an opportunity to join our organisation at the very beginning., one that will reconnect the South East to the skies and shape the region for decades to come.”

In a post on social media , the airport announced it is seeking candidates to fill a number of key roles carrying ‘competitive salaries’. The roles advertised include an ‘exceptional executive assistant’ and ‘experienced accountant’.

A C-suite executive assistant is a high level support role that involves the management of communications and scheduling for top-tier executives including CEOs and CFOs.

The role is a ‘high-trust , high-autonomy’ role which involves directly working with the CEO through coordination of senior stakeholders and meetings.

Experience in similar roles supporting a CEO or senior executives is preferred but not essential.

“We’re looking for an exceptional executive assistant to work directly with the CEO of a diverse group spanning aviation, engineering, construction, flooring & leisure.”

The group is also seeking to fill the role of Airport Accountant - requesting a fully qualified candidate with 5+ years experience in the field.

An airport accountant oversees the management of the companies accounts and financial reporting with a key focus on the ‘day-to-day’ ownership of the airports finances.

“We’re looking for a fully qualified, experienced accountant to take day-to-day ownership of Waterford Airport’s finance function.

Both roles are full-time and provide a ‘competitive salary based on experience’.

“If you want your work to mean something, we'd love to hear from you.”
