Aircraft marshaller

Aircraft marshallers guide aircraft on the ground using hand signals and equipment. The work involves directing pilots during taxiing, parking, and pushback, using standardised signals, ensuring safe ground movement, and coordinating with ground crews around aircraft in busy, hazardous ramp environments.

They work for airports, airlines, and ground handlers. The role suits alert, precise, safety-focused people who can give clear, accurate signals, work safely around large aircraft and equipment, stay focused in a noisy, dangerous environment, and carry the responsibility of guiding multi-million-dollar aircraft and their passengers safely on the ground.
