It’s not every day we hear about job opportunities that help our fellow Filipinos return home, but Cebu Pacific just dropped something special for overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) in the engineering field.
Cebu Pacific, one of our country’s leading low-cost airlines, has launched the “Juan Flight Closer to Home” program this May, a new hiring initiative that specifically calls out to Filipino engineers abroad to come home and build a career in aviation right here in the Philippines.
Let’s be real: many of our kababayans leave to find better opportunities overseas, but this latest move feels like a warm welcome home, paired with solid support for those making the big transition.
Positions You Can Apply For
They’re not just offering any jobs, the airline is opening engineering roles that require real skill and experience, making it a perfect fit for returning OFWs who’ve worked in the global aviation space. Here are just some of the positions available:
Basically, if you’ve been around aircrafts and know your way around maintenance, structure, or systems, then you have a chance.
Moving back home from abroad isn’t always easy, but this airline gets it. That’s why the “Juan Flight Closer to Home” program also comes with a relocation package, designed to ease the transition.
Here’s what’s included:
- Free flight back to Manila, and with baggage allowance
- One-time relocation assistance
- Travel benefits for the employee and their dependents
- Healthcare coverage starting on day one
Honestly, that’s a big deal, especially the part where your family is included and having an actual HMO coverage!
They’ve Already Started Hiring
Even before the official launch, the airline shared that over 10 engineers have already joined the team through the program. The hiring process isn’t based on numbers, though; it’s more about matching your skills with their operational needs, so you’re not just filling a slot, you’re taking on a role that matters.
So, if you’re an OFW engineer or you know someone who is, this could be the sign you’ve been waiting for; it’s a chance to finally come back and build something here in our very own country.
Let us know if you’re one of them, or maybe tag someone who needs to see this, Sugboanons!
