Air traffic controller

Air traffic controllers manage the safe movement of aircraft in the skies and on the ground. The work involves directing aircraft via radio, maintaining safe separation, sequencing takeoffs and landings, and managing complex traffic in real time, holding the safety of many aircraft and thousands of lives in their decisions.

They work for air navigation services at airports and control centres. The role suits exceptionally focused, calm, quick-thinking people who can manage intense, high-stakes situations continuously, make instant decisions with no margin for error, and carry the extraordinary responsibility of keeping aircraft safely separated in one of the most demanding jobs anywhere.
