Screening Officer careers
A Screening Officer checks passengers, baggage, and cargo to meet safety regulations. You might work in airports, seaports, or other transport hubs using equipment and manual checks to detect prohibited items and maintain security.
Screening Officers are key to public safety. You’ll need attention to detail, good communication skills, and the ability to stay calm under pressure while professionally interacting with passengers and enforcing regulations.
