SYRACUSE — The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) says it has about 25 positions available between Syracuse Hancock International Airport and the airports that service Buffalo and Albany.
The agency hopes to fill the jobs “within the next few months,” and most of the openings are for part-time employees, the TSA said in a March 12 news release.
It’s part of a national effort to hire 6,000 TSA officers in preparation for “projected summer travel volumes.”
Hourly starting pay for Syracuse is $16.51 per hour, $16.48 an hour in Albany, and $17.11 per hour in Buffalo. TSA offers part-time employees’ opportunities for pay increases after six months.
TSA officers screen thousands of airline travelers daily, and the agency expects to screen a larger number of travelers “regularly by summer.” It needs additional officers to support that effort.
Those interested can check out listings of open positions for TSA officers around the country at TSA.gov/TSO.
