Resumes Being Accepted For Positions At Briscoe Field In
Gwinnett County, GA
One of the companies hoping to
secure a contract to manage Briscoe Field in Gwinnett County, GA
says if it is awarded the deal, it will concentrate its hiring
efforts in the local community. In a news release Monday,
Airport investment company Propeller Airports said that it is
committed to hiring as many local employees as possible for its
proposed operation at Briscoe Field. If the County decides to move
forward with the privatization and commercialization of the
airport, and should Propeller be the successful candidate, its
objective would be to try and fill jobs locally. Airports require
many people with a variety of skill sets in order to operate
successfully, and the company feels Gwinnett County is in no short
supply of such workers.
Some of the positions that will be required include IT
professionals, customer service agents, building and construction
personnel, ground and ramp technicians, operations specialists,
airfield maintenance and security staff, as well as business
development, sales and administrative staff.
Brett Smith, Propeller’s CEO stated, “with close to
10.1% unemployment throughout Georgia and over 35,000 people
searching for jobs right here in Gwinnett, there is certainly no
shortage of qualified, quality people that would like nothing more
than to get back to work.”
Based on the economic impact and job creation statistics
reported from hundreds of airports worldwide, Propeller firmly
believes that the opportunity to put people back to work and create
value is significant and will make a substantial difference for the
County in these times of economic hardship. Mr. Smith further
stated “If Briscoe Field is permitted to be redeveloped and
its use realigned, the people of Gwinnett County should benefit
first.”
Currently Propeller says it is hiring on a limited basis,
however resumes are being collected and can be submitted to jobs@propellerairports.com
in anticipation of the County leadership moving forward with this
historic economic development project.
