The airline is seeking talent to ensure the viability of the business and offering cheaper Brussels Airlines flights to promote business.
Brussels Airlines aims to expand once more
Brussels Airlines is hiring engineers, technicians, and handymen in its Maintenance & Engineering department for 66 office functions, a large portion of which are for profiles with skills like sustainability, digitization, and innovation to make the company future-proof. In addition to hiring pilots and check-in agents.
To maintain the best possible work-life balance at its headquarters, the corporation adopted a new method of working. post-Covid
Following a nearly two-year economic crisis, the economy is now recovering, and Brussels Airlines is noticing an increase in bookings for the summer, indicating that demand for travel is returning. The airline will expand its fleet and workforce to meet this market demand and to solidify its position as Belgium's national carrier.
"We notice that the amount of travel this summer is really high and that our booking numbers are rising. Our fleet of intercontinental aircraft now includes two planes, and we are investigating expanding our capacity in Europe. We are slowly but surely emerging from this catastrophe, and now is the ideal time to pursue progress.
A rise in demand and jobs for pilots and airport workers
Jobs are available in all operational departments as a result of the additional aircraft and destinations. 180 cabin crew personnel are needed by the Belgian domestic airline on both permanent and temporary contracts. As promised during the company's turnaround programme, Brussels Airlines gave the job preference to former coworkers whose temporary contracts weren't renewed due to the pandemic crisis. Many of these coworkers expressed a strong desire to return and will soon begin their training. Brussels Airlines is now hiring new employees with and without experience for the open roles.
Brussels Airlines is adding 40 check-in employees to its roster at Brussels Airport in addition to employing more pilots.
A mechanic became an aircraft engineer
An expanded fleet also means more work for the maintenance and engineering division of Brussels Airlines. The airline is seeking more than 20 new coworkers with a variety of backgrounds. Jobs for engineers and aircraft technicians are available, among others, but untrained labourers are also needed. They have a rare chance to change their professional trajectory and learn everything there is to know about flying.
Opportunities for employment at Brussels Airlines' headquarters
Brussels Airlines is building a workforce at its soon-to-be-opened stations in Conakry and Ouagadougou in addition to filling 66 administrative posts at its headquarters in Brussels. The company plans to innovate greatly in the coming years, such as in sustainability and digitization, so they are searching for candidates who are prepared to handle the challenges of the future (e.g. business performance, business analysis, corporate development, digital product, digital analytics, etc).
New approach of working
The Covid problem has had a big impact on how people live and work. Regarding office work, Brussels Airlines has seized the chance to reinvent itself. Given that mobile working has become the norm, its offices are now set up to support full hybrid meetings.
"We want to give our employees as much flexibility and wellbeing as possible, and we want to empower them to take control of their careers by choosing how and where they work based on the sort of work that is necessary, such as meetings or work that demands intense concentration. We opted not to apply any standards about the amount of required office time because this varies for each individual and there is no one size fits all solution. Every week, there must be a physical team meeting; on all other days, it is up to the teams and individuals to decide whether physical attendance is essential. Instead of how much time one spends at the office, the emphasis is on the result one produces. As a result, we anticipate that employees will be more effective overall and that we will become an even more desirable employer for talent.
