At the Civil Aviation Authority, we don’t just keep New Zealand’s skies safe and secure, we help shape the future of aviation.

As the industry evolves, so do we, through innovative technology, new ways of working, and a team of people who are passionate about what they do.

About the Role

As a Senior Advisor, Strategy (Equipment and Technology) , you’ll play a key role in shaping the CAA’s strategic approach to Aviation Security technology and equipment.

You’ll work closely with the Aviation Security and Corporate Services groups to guide strategic planning for aviation security technology, equipment, and infrastructure. By staying informed on global developments and innovations, you’ll help ensure the CAA’s planning and direction are well-informed, connected, and positioned to meet future challenges.

  • Stay ahead of the curve by researching global trends and innovations in aviation safety and security and identifying how they could enhance CAA’s work.
  • Spot opportunities for new ideas, trials, and proof-of-concept projects in aviation security, partnering with the Aviation Security and Digital & Workplace teams to bring them to life.
  • Anticipate future challenges and emerging risks to help the CAA plan and adapt to a changing regulatory environment.
  • Support planning and decision-making around aviation security technology, infrastructure, and services to ensure they align with our strategic goals.
  • Provide expert advice on best practice, future direction, and opportunities to strengthen how we deliver aviation security.
  • Build strong, trusted relationships across the organisation and with key partners to support collaboration and well-informed decisions.
  • What You Will Bring

  • Strong experience in conducting research and engagement to stay across emerging trends and best practice.
  • Proven ability to design and deliver horizon scanning activities to identify future challenges and opportunities or expertise in Aviation Security infrastructure and technology.
  • Be a self-starter with the ability to work independently on projects.
  • Comfortable working with ambiguity in a role where processes and outcomes may evolve.
  • Experience building relationships and collaborating across government and sector organisations is essential.
  • Ability to quickly understand and engage with complex topics such as equipment, technology, and infrastructure .
  • Experience working with technical standards or equipment is an advantage.
  • International engagement experience would be an asset.
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a security clearance if required.
  • The salary band for this position starts at $115,536 to a maximum of $141,751 . The starting salary will be based on the knowledge, skills and experience you may bring to the role and relativities across the organisation.
