Part-Time, On-Call Cargo Screeners

Covenant Aviation Security (CAS) is seeking part-time, on-call cargo screeners to support overnight UPS cargo screening operations at Ontario International Airport (ONT).

This role is ideal for individuals seeking supplemental employment who have the flexibility to work overnight hours on an as-needed basis.

Hours of Operation:
Overnight operations are conducted Monday through Friday between 9:00 PM and 2:30 AM. Scheduled work hours will vary based on operational needs.
