Application process

When you first apply for a position at Heathrow, you will be asked to provide your email address. Use the same email address to view the progress of your application or apply for future roles. When you enter your email address after the first time you will be sent a one time verification code which you can use to verify your identity.

Our Job Alert service allows you to register to receive our newest vacancies via email, tailored to your specific skills.

If you have been unsuccessful in an application to a role you are not able to reapply for the same role within six months. However you can apply for other roles.

After the closing date, applications are assessed to see how applicants' skills, qualifications and experience relate to the vacancy.

Those who are best matched to the job criteria will be invited to progress to the next stage of the selection process.

All candidates will be contacted by telephone or via email to inform them of their application status.

Yes, but you must be in possession of a valid work permit or Right to Work documentation. It is your responsibility to provide evidence of the work permit in line with current Home Office guidelines.

All successful applicants are required to provide a five year employer reference history (one of which should be from your most recent employer).

To comply with Department for Transport regulations, some positions will also require you to complete a criminal record and counter terrorism check. The resourcing team will advise you if this is required.

The purpose of a Criminal Record Check is to enhance public safety by providing Heathrow with any criminal history information on individuals applying for posts.

Disclosure Scotland issues a Disclosure Certificate, which provides details of an individual's criminal convictions. There is no charge for this service.

A Counter Terrorist Check (CTC) is a clearance level required for individuals employed in certain roles and establishments. It involves checks into areas such as employment records, criminal records, Security Service records and may also involve a Security interview.

Yes, you can still apply if you have a criminal record, but any offer of employment will depend upon a list of qualifying criteria.

We will still require you to complete a CRC Form (this covers the last five years) and this will be processed as normal.

If this does not identify any disqualifying records your application will continue through the process as normal.

Yes, we offer engineering apprenticeships and we recruit annually to fill the positions.

To ensure that you are made aware when these roles are advertised, you can register your details to receive a job alert by email.
