Eligibility requirements
- Individuals hired into this position will have unescorted access privileges to airport security identification display areas (SIDA). For this reason, eligibility for this role will be limited to individuals who pass a security screening, as required by the FAA, DHS, and TSA (as applicable).

Applicants are advised that SIDA badge credentials must be issued in the individual's full legal name as recorded on valid, government-issued identification. Discrepancies between submitted documentation and the applicant's legal government name may result in delays or denial of badge issuance.
- Must be able to secure appropriate airport authority and/or US Customs security badges, if applicable.
- This position requires an employee's full and unimpaired skills and judgment to safely execute their job duties to ensure the safety and security of Amazon AIR personnel, third-party contractors, Airport personnel, cargo, and equipment

This position is therefore designated as a safety sensitive position and is subject to mandatory pre-employment and, where permitted, post-hire drug testing.
Temperature in the Air Gateway may vary depending on outside weather conditions and will fluctuate depending on the season and daily weather conditions. You may be working outdoors your entire shift. The ability to work outdoors in a variety of weather conditions is a must.
Amazon does not sponsor for immigration, including for H-1B, TN, and other non-immigrant visas, for this role.
