BILLINGS, Montana - The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is hiring Transportation Security Officers (TSOs) to work at Billings Logan International Airport (BIL). There are currently immediate openings for full- and part-time positions and the annual salary ranges from $38,000 to $53,000 for full-time employees.
TSA officers screen hundreds of airline travelers daily, ensuring that they arrive at their destinations safely and securely. Interested applicants do not need previous experience working in security or law enforcement fields.
In order to be considered for employment, candidates will need to complete a medical evaluation, federal drug screening and a pre-hire background investigation. Applicants must be 18 years or older, a U.S. citizen or national and have earned a minimum of a high school diploma or GED. During the hiring process, candidates will take a computer-based test to evaluate aptitude and English language proficiency and participate in a structured interview session.
Full- and part-time TSOs at BIL are federal employees with full federal benefits, which include paid training, annual and sick leave, comprehensive health care plans and a generous 401k retirement plan. TSOs are also eligible for up to $5,000 per year in college tuition reimbursement. TSA does not prorate benefits for part-time workers, and veteran’s preference is not required to join the agency.
After six months, TSOs are eligible for pay increases and those who work early mornings, evenings and Sundays receive a shift differential. Overtime opportunities, which are paid at time and a half, are frequently available.
TSA is committed to a diverse, equitable, and inclusive work environment and encourages individuals of all backgrounds to apply.
