The Croatian Civil Aviation Agency has published two public calls for employment in its Airworthiness Department, within the Flight Operations, Training, Airworthiness and Licensing Sector. The calls cover a total of four new positions, three AWD aviation inspectors and one airworthiness specialist, with Zagreb listed as the place of work.
These positions are related to one of the key areas of the civil aviation regulator’s work, airworthiness oversight, monitoring the implementation of regulations and aligning the national system with European and international standards. In the published calls, the Agency notes that, based on public authority, it performs tasks defined by the Air Traffic Act as an activity of interest to the Republic of Croatia, while also monitoring and implementing international standards necessary for fulfilling Croatia’s obligations in the field of civil aviation safety and security.
For the position of AWD aviation inspector, the Agency is looking for three candidates. The job description includes professional and administrative tasks within the Department’s scope of work, conducting administrative and non-administrative procedures, drafting decisions and certificates, carrying out aviation safety oversight, monitoring the correction of identified deficiencies and irregularities, and taking measures in cases of violations of the Air Traffic Act. The inspectors will also participate in the work of the Agency’s expert bodies, prepare professional materials and reports, and monitor European legislation, international standards and recommended practices.
Candidates for the AWD aviation inspector position must have relevant higher education in aeronautics, transport, aviation, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering or aircraft maintenance, along with at least five years of work experience in relevant duties. Alternatively, candidates may apply with a secondary education in an aviation technical or technical field, at least ten years of relevant experience and a valid Part 66 aircraft maintenance licence in category B1 and/or B2.
