We are looking to add dedicated team members to keep the runways at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport clear for departure! In the winter months, this team is busy clearing snow from runways, taxi ways, roadways, terminals, and public areas. When the snow is not falling, our Airport Maintenance Workers are busy with grounds keeping, mowing, trash removal, fence installation, concrete and asphalt repairs, and other duties that keep the airport looking great!
