About this opportunity
Opportunity Overview
A cashier position at MBJ Airports Limited, the company that operates Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay, Jamaica, is open for applications. The role sits within the airport's commercial operations and focuses on the daily reconciliation of cash collections, customs documentation, and reporting to the head office. This is a ground-level finance and administration job that keeps the airport's revenue accounting accurate and its cargo and passenger processes moving. The day-to-day work centers on matching money collected against deposit slips, preparing daily reports in the CBS system, and sending them to the accounts receivable team at the main office. The cashier also handles customs-related paperwork, including clearance documents, amendments, and import duty calculations. You would scan DTP and DDP paperwork, upload manifests, and support the broker agent with duty information. It is a role that mixes cash handling, data entry, and customer service, so accuracy and speed both matter. MBJ Airports Limited has operated Sangster International Airport under a concession agreement since 2003. The airport is Jamaica's busiest, handling millions of passengers each year and serving as the main gateway for tourists heading to the island's north coast resorts. The company is part of a larger airport group with ties to international operators, and it employs hundreds of staff across terminal operations, security, retail, and administration. Working there means being part of a fast-moving environment where flights, passengers, and cargo all create daily deadlines. Montego Bay is Jamaica's second-largest city and a major tourism hub. The cost of living is lower than in Kingston, though imported goods carry a premium. The climate is tropical, with warm weather year-round and a rainy season from May to November. Work culture in Jamaican businesses tends to be professional but relaxed, with a strong emphasis on personal relationships. For international applicants, a work permit is required, and the clean police record requirement in the job description is a standard part of the hiring process for airport positions, given the security-sensitive nature of the work.
