Denver Ramp Agent Jobs

Schedules and requests for certain shifts are dependent on seniority (how long you’ve been in your position). New Hire Ramp Agents must put in time and hard work before they can build their own schedule. Schedules can and will change, especially due to Irregular Operations (IROPS) which can require mandatory overtime. After the training period, you can pick up more shifts as specified in the Collective Bargaining Agreement.

It’s five weeks and includes a combination of in-classroom and on the job training. First, you’ll complete federal training before learning on-the-job skills— both in a classroom and shadowing a training agent. The on-the-job training phase lasts about three weeks.

If selected, you’ll receive a contingent job offer within two (2) days of your virtual interview.
