To work at Aena, you should check its careers website, which brings together public recruitment announcements, information about roles and documentation on selection processes. Aena explains that, as a publicly listed company, its recruitment announcements follow specific procedures and have application periods.
This is not a matter of emailing your CV to a mailing list and waiting for a vacancy to appear. This guide explains where to check recruitment announcements, how to register for alerts and the difference between expressing interest and applying for an open position.
Key to avoiding a missed deadline: Aena states that the application option remains unavailable when there are no open recruitment announcements. You can register your email address in the interested candidates section to receive alerts about future announcements.
How to apply for jobs at Aena
The first step is to visit Aena’s official careers website. Requirements and application methods vary by role; do not rely on screenshots of adverts or old forms instead of the current recruitment announcement.
- Check the official recruitment announcements and confirm whether the application period is open.
- Check the vacancy requirements and location before applying.
- Tailor your CV to the duties actually listed, without claiming experience you do not have.
- If there is an open recruitment announcement and you meet the requirements, submit your application and documents as specified in the official terms.
- Keep the application confirmation and check for any follow-up notifications through official channels.
Before applying, read our guide to writing a CV. Avoid sharing bank details, login credentials or sensitive documents unless they are justified at the initial stage of the process.

Kurriku is an independent information guide. It does not represent Aena, manage its recruitment or accept CVs on its behalf. Every official advert or recruitment announcement takes precedence over any general guidance on this page.
What jobs does Aena offer?
The professional areas at Aena have different duties and requirements. Below are roles connected with its operations or listed in the sources consulted; this does not mean they are all currently open:
- Airport operations and customer service: duties related to facilities and operations, depending on the role.
- Maintenance and engineering: systems, infrastructure, equipment and technical specialisms.
- Security and operational services: specific roles published with their requirements.
- Administration, management and IT: corporate and support roles.
- Specialist roles: each recruitment announcement defines the positions, duties, assessments and conditions.
Requirements for working at Aena
Requirements depend on the location and role. Before applying, check the following to avoid submitting an ineligible application:
- Read the general and role-specific terms of each official recruitment announcement.
- Check the qualifications, experience, languages and other requirements for the role.
- Check the application deadline, required documents and any fees, where applicable.
- Consult information about the selection tests and any reference materials published by Aena.
- Distinguish between registering for alerts and submitting an actual application for a position.
Do not assume that a requirement for a technical or management role, or for a previous vacancy, applies across the whole company. The official information for each recruitment process is the authoritative source.
Can you work at Aena without experience?
Aena runs selection processes with precise terms and requirements. Some roles may be open to candidates without previous experience if they meet the conditions, while others require qualifications or technical knowledge. Never treat registration for alerts as a valid application for a recruitment process.
If you have not yet had a job, it may help to include your education, work placements, volunteering, languages and projects that demonstrate relevant skills. Give each section prominence according to the job description.
How to check Aena’s public recruitment announcements
The careers website has sections for recruitment announcements, roles and interested candidates. Opening dates, requirements and tests depend on each process. Always check the current status and documentation.
A recruitment announcement appearing in the archive does not mean you can apply. Check whether the process is open, closed or in progress, and use the official terms to avoid mistakes.
Job alerts: register your interest
Aena lets you provide your email address in its interested candidates section to receive alerts about new recruitment announcements. This does not replace submitting an application when the application period opens.
When you receive an alert, return to the official website and read the conditions. Check that the link, organisation and date match the actual recruitment announcement.
The difference between working for Aena and working at an airport
Airports are also home to airlines, ground-handling companies, security firms, shops, cleaning companies and catering businesses. Their recruitment processes are not necessarily Aena recruitment announcements.
If you are looking for a job with a ground-handling company, airline or airport shop, you will need to check that company’s careers website, not just Aena’s portal.
Pay and working conditions at Aena
Aena does not have a single rate of pay for all roles. Recruitment announcements and their documents specify the categories, conditions and terms applicable to each position. Consult the official terms and relevant employment documentation rather than relying on third-party estimates for all roles.
Also compare working hours, commute, shifts, work arrangements, training and any conditions that affect day-to-day life. A figure from another company or an unofficial website is not enough to assess a specific offer.
How to prepare your CV for Aena
It is not advisable to use exactly the same cover letter and professional profile for every role. To make your application clearer, consider the following:
- Read the official terms before completing any form.
- Check the qualifications and documents required for the role.
- Make a note of the deadline and how to submit applications.
- Prepare for the tests specified in the official information; avoid unauthorised study materials.
- Set up alerts if there are no open recruitment announcements today.
If the application allows you to attach additional text, prepare a brief cover letter explaining which role you are looking for and what relevant skills you can offer. Avoid repeating every line of your CV.
