About the role
The Transportation Security Administration is hiring Transportation Security Officers for Memphis International Airport in Tennessee, with many vacancies available. You will screen passengers, baggage and cargo using screening equipment, conduct searches and pat-downs, control terminal entry and exit points, give directions and answer travellers' questions, and stay focused in a noisy, stressful airport environment. The role is front-line public service, demanding alertness, professionalism and calm under pressure, and your work keeps millions of travellers safe. Applicants must be 18 or older, hold U.S. citizenship or national status, and have either one year of full-time security, aviation-screening or related work experience or a high school diploma, GED or equivalent, plus passing a structured interview, drug screening, medical evaluation and background investigation. Part-time hours suit those balancing other commitments, and this is a solid entry route into federal security work.
