The Civil Aviation Authority and the Aviation Security Service offer distinctively different career opportunities and embrace diverse talent. All jobs at the Authority contribute to ensuring safe and secure skies to help New Zealand fly.

At the Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand (CAA), we are constantly evolving to meet the demands of a changing environment and the aviation industry.

Recent legislative changes, along with an organisational realignment, have opened exciting new opportunities across the organisation. These changes are part of a broader effort to better position our teams for the future by enabling us to be effective in everything we do.

As we step confidently into our role as a modern regulator, we are embracing intelligence-led, risk-based approaches that help us make a real difference for our people and the communities we serve - with a strong value-for-money ethos. We're also committed to enabling aviation participants to support economic growth in New Zealand's aviation sector. Based in Wellington as a Senior Recruitment Advisor, you will be at the centre of how we attract, select, and grow the talented people who make that possible.

- Build pipelines for specialist and hard-to-fill roles

- Contribute to people-focused projects that shape our wider workforce strategy

This is a role where your recruitment expertise will be valued, and your ideas will drive long-lasting outcomes across the organisation. Please note: this is a six month fixed term contract.

About You

You will have:

- Proven experience in inhouse end-to-end recruitment (including senior-level hiring)

- The ability to influence and coach people leaders with confidence
- Experience using recruitment systems and data to drive decisions
