About LAZ Airport Services

Parking is our industry, but people are our passion.

LAZ Airport Services helps keep travelers and airport operations moving through safe, reliable, and customer-focused parking and transportation services. Our frontline employees are an important part of the travel experience, often serving as one of the first points of contact for passengers arriving at or departing from the airport.

At Eagle County Regional Airport, that means helping create a curbside environment that is safe, welcoming, organized, and ready for the traveling public.

Schedule & Work Environment

This is an active, primarily outdoor airport position performed around moving vehicles, pedestrians, terminal curbside areas, and parking facilities.

The position requires flexibility to work early mornings, evenings, nights, weekends, holidays, and varying schedules based on operational needs.

Employees work outdoors throughout the year and should be prepared for changing weather conditions, including heat, cold, wind, rain, and snow.

The Spirit of the Position

The Traffic Control Attendant helps create order in one of the busiest and most visible parts of the airport: the terminal curbside.

You are there to keep vehicles moving, help pedestrians navigate safely, prevent unattended vehicles from creating operational or security concerns, and assist travelers who may be unfamiliar with the airport. Sometimes that means answering a simple question. Other times, it means confidently addressing congestion or remaining calm with a frustrated traveler.

Success requires good judgment and a willingness to make decisions and stand behind them while remaining professional and respectful. You will need to balance customer service with airport rules, safety expectations, and the needs of the overall operation.

Most importantly, you represent both LAZ and the airport whenever you interact with the traveling public. The goal is simple: help people, maintain a safe and orderly curbside, and contribute to an airport experience our customers and partners can count on.
