Welcome to the ICAO Employment Site

ICAO is improving its e-recruitment system. During this period, two recruitment systems will be running in parallel. Therefore, you may be asked to fill two profiles depending on which system the vacancy notice you applying for was advertised. For more details, please see information in the section "How to Apply" at the bottom of this page.

At ICAO we are always looking for energetic, passionate, motivated individuals to join our team. If you are interested in a career in a high performing team environment, then we would like to hear from you.

Our website provides you with information regarding the qualifications and experience you need to have a successful career as well as explaining the benefits of working at ICAO. So why not take the time to review this information and find out if your current qualifications and experience align with any of our current vacancies?

The Secretariat

The headquarters of the Secretariat is located in Montreal and we also have Regional Offices located in Bangkok, Cairo, Dakar, Lima, Mexico, Nairobi and Paris.

Technical Cooperation Programme Field Projects

ICAO's Technical Cooperation Programme roster of over 3,000 experts provides advice and assistance to Contracting States in a variety of tasks, such as; civil aviation master plans, air traffic  control  services, airport modernization, safety oversight, regulatory frameworks, MRTD's and e-Passports, and more.  Experts typically work together with national specialists to transfer their knowledge and at the same time provide on-the-job training.

The jobs listed on the TCB Field Projects Prospective Jobs website are generic-based jobs which are similar to vacancies posted on our TCB Field Projects website.  Candidates should only apply for vacancies if they possess the minimum qualifications requirements listed in the job description.  Given the specific areas of specialization listed on our prospective jobs, some candidates may need to apply for one or more positions.

After a candidate submits their application, it will be assessed by a Recruitment Specialist and, if found suitable, their name will be placed on our TCB roster in this specific field of expertise.  Candidates will be advised by email on the assessment of their application.  Due to the high volume of applications received, there may be a delay in the evaluation of your application.

Over time, candidates placed on our roster will need to withdraw their application from the prospective post in order to provide additional information on their education and work experience.

How to apply

You can search for vacancies without registering. However, by registering you will be able to create and save an online profile, attaching documents that you can use each time you apply for a vacancy. You must register when applying for a job.
Please note:  ICAO will no longer accept paper-based applications.

ICAO is improving its e-recruitment system. During this period, two recruitment systems will be running in parallel. Therefore, you may be asked to fill two profiles depending on which system the vacancy notice you applying for was advertised.

If you have a profile in the old e-recruitment system, it will not be transferred into the new e-recruitment system.
