About Us

Logic 360 Ltd is a trusted workforce partner to some of the UK’s busiest airports, specialising in winter resilience and emergency response services. We have been supporting Glasgow Airport for over six years, ensuring that critical airfield operations continue safely during adverse weather conditions.

Role Overview

We are looking for Apron Operatives to join our Winter Resilience Team at Glasgow Airport. This role focuses on managing aircraft stands and apron areas, ensuring snow and ice are cleared to keep flights moving safely.

A standard UK driving licence is sufficient. You will be trained to operate equipment specific to apron and stand operations.

We operate a trained pool of operatives who are called upon during live events. If you have offered your availability, you must be ready to respond. When a call-out is triggered, shifts are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis to those who reply. Phones must be kept on loud and charged whenever snow is forecast.

This role is particularly suited to people who are self-employed and manage their own workload, or those on a 4-on / 4-off shift pattern looking for additional income during the winter season.

Key Responsibilities

• Operate apron-based equipment to clear snow and ice from aircraft stands and apron areas.
• Carry out safety checks and routine maintenance on allocated vehicles/equipment.
• Work collaboratively with the airport’s operations and control teams.
• Follow strict safety procedures and maintain full compliance with CAA/airport regulations.
• Manage radio communication effectively and accurately during live operations.
• Keep your phone on loud when snow is forecast, respond promptly to call-outs, and arrive at the airport within one hour when allocated.
• Provide accurate records/logs as required by airport procedures.

Requirements

• Full, valid UK driving licence with no more than 6 penalty points.
• Live within a 45-minute commute of Glasgow Airport.
• Provide a 5-year checkable history (employment, self-employment, education, or benefit claims) and proof of right to work in the UK.
• Be physically fit and able to work long shifts in cold, demanding conditions.
• Be flexible and able to work: days, nights, weekends, and public holidays.
• No unspent criminal convictions (disqualifying offences will prevent Airside Pass approval).

Training & Compliance

• Operational Training – 2 full days (equipment and procedures).
• GSAT (General Security Awareness Training) – online, required for pass application.
• ASAT (Airside Safety Awareness Training) – required once ASP is approved.
• Fire Safety Training – completed once ASP is approved.
• Security interview and full referencing process completed by our Compliance Team.

What We Offer

• Full Airside Pass (valid for 5 years).
• Premium pay rates and minimum 8-hour call-out payments.
• Free parking at the airport.
• Paid training and full support from our Compliance and Account Management Team.
• Opportunities to join the Rapid Response Team (RRT) for critical deployments.

Important Information

• You will be part of a trained pool of operatives.
• If you have offered availability, we expect you to be ready to respond.
• Shifts are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis to those who reply to the call-out.
• Keep your phone on loud and charged whenever snow is anticipated.
• You must be able to arrive at the airport within one hour of being confirmed for a shift.
• Failure to honour confirmed availability may affect future work allocations.
