Help us get United flights out on time, every time
Have you ever wanted to get up close to an Airbus or Boeing airplane? Are you an outdoors type who enjoys all kinds of weather? Do you like physical work that keeps you fit? You’re a great candidate for a role as a part-time Ramp Agent/Baggage Handler for United Airlines.
As part of our baggage handling team, you’ll be in constant motion as you take on many assignments like loading and unloading aircraft cargo, moving baggage to and from terminals, and receiving and dispatching aircraft. It’s a varied job that can be fun, tiring, rewarding and exhilarating, all at once.
Are you the right fit for this service?
  • You will be working outside in all kinds of weather, as we don’t stop flying when it rains, snows or is too hot

  • You’ll need a commitment to safety at all times, including an attention to detail and your surroundings
  • You should be committed to caring for bags as if they were your own (passengers can see you!) and providing excellent customer service for your fellow United employees
Many routes to success
  • You will start by loading and unloading aircraft and placing baggage on belts
  • We provide paid training, including 1 week of orientation, 1 week in the classroom and 1-3 weeks on the job
  • Once you’ve got the basics, you can explore other duties such as de-icing, marshaling aircraft and driving a wide variety of mechanical equipment like cargo carts and conveyor belts
  • Later, you can grow into a team lead, become a supervisor or manager, or join the team that moves our aircraft
  • You’ll also have the ability to transfer to other locations within our amazing network
