DAA hiring Airport Police Officers 👮‍♂️

Starting Salary of €33,112.86. Permanent role with full access to an excellent company pension scheme. Contract will be 35-40 hours, you will be guaranteed minimum 35 hours but must be available work up to 40 hours weekly across a 24/7 roster.

That seems to be a DAA thing. A cynic might think it’s intentional because most people would balk at the advertised salary.

folks what’s the shifts like in there? I can’t get in touch anyone who knows, what equipment do they carry…?? Are they employed by DAA or Dept of transport

There’s a sergeant pay scale out there which isn’t great, so regular airport police officers would be on a bit less than that. I’ll stick with my cynic.

And if salaries for DAA positions were that competitive surely they would’ve broadcast them a few summers back when they couldn’t get any staff.

Any idea what the process is like after the interview? Is it straight into training or more tests?

Which company is doing the recruitment process do you know from your email? I applied for this also and not getting much joy from DAA?

I applied externally. Do you mind me asking how did you find out about your application being under review?

They are completing the applications in batches I’d say. The website for most says under review (including me) but I would say it’s first come first serve type job.

Submission received would suggest the application has been received and they haven’t yet reviewed it. It’s hard to know what process they’re following though.

I applied externally. I have very relevant experience and education related to the role. I was also surprised to get an email for interview on Saturday morning 16th. I was definitely not expecting it! I was very impressed how quick I recieved word especially as I onky applied just before the closing date.

I think another poster is correct, in my experience all things like this are done in batches.

I understnd that many people are disappointed as they didn't know of they passed or failed the aptitude test. I didn't either despite being invited for interview.

The reason for this is that it was stated that people will progress to the enzt stage on review of both the applicant form and the aptitude test result.

I actually really agree with this as I believe experience should of course be taken into account. Otherwise someone could be very good at aptitude tests however has no relevant experience. I think this assessment method should be used.

Just my views :)

I would say so... lots if similarities and it does state that it's a mix of the aptitude tests and experience that helps them decide who is to get an interview.

Has anybody else heard dates for interviews out of interest? My app status last changed a week ago.

Also, for those interested/asking, the starting salary is just over €40,000. It’s a 15 year pay scale, rising to approx €70,000.

The annual increments vary in amounts, from approx 1600 to 2500 per annum.

In real world terms, the starting salary would mean a fortnightly pay cheque (minus PAYE, PRSI and USC) of about €1,150. This does not include further deductions for pension contributions and union fees.

Not great, but not terrible given it’s an 'unskilled' job. If you’re considering changing from a career you’ve been in for a while, be mindful of the drop in money.

Anyone else get an email off the Airport for this job?
