The Role
We are currently looking for Survey Interviewers for Heathrow Airport and candidates would have previous customer experience.
The role of Survey interviewer is to collect information on the characteristics of air passengers through face-to-face interviews at airside locations:
- To approach air passengers to seek their cooperation with the survey
- To obtain accurate information from air passengers both on their journey and their personal details using a pre-set questionnaire
- Use judgement to consider the answers given to questions and probe where these seem unusual or inconsistent and revise the recorded answer if appropriate. Indicate on the questionnaire where it is believed that false information has been deliberately given
- Maintain a strict systematic random sampling scheme to ensure integrity of survey results
Shift patterns would be between 6am and 10:30pm – this would largely depend on passenger numbers coming through the airport. Heathrow requires early starts of 6am so candidates should live within a commutable distance for shift times.
About You
Previous customer service experience and knowledge of the airport/aviation industry would be beneficial.
Previous experience with market research is advantageous but not essential.
Must be able to read, understand and speak English fluently; the ability to speak other languages would be an asset.
Experience of working autonomously and without supervision.
What Can We Offer You?
We would be able to offer flexible shift patterns for those candidates looking for part time hours with free parking, uniform allowance as well as staff discounts at airport retailers and restaurants.

Relocation & Property
The CAA will be relocating from Aviation House (Our Gatwick Office) to new premises in a few years’ time. Our move is driven by strategic, operational and environmental considerations.
