Duties

----------


Civil Aviation Safety Inspectors (CASI) - Operational Airworthiness are working in the Civil Aviation Directorate at Transport Canada.



?? Why This Role Stands Out



Collaborate with professionals to improve aviation safety. Be part of dynamic, multidisciplinary teams. Grow your expertise through training and hands-on experience. Travel and connect with colleagues across regions and internationally.


What You'll Do



Shape aviation regulations, standards, and policies. Provide expert guidance to internal teams and external stakeholders. Evaluate emerging technologies and safety challenges. Work with international aviation bodies to align global standards. Conduct safety oversight and certification activities in Canada and abroad.


This role demands strong communication, sound judgment, and the ability to lead change under pressure. Your decisions will directly impact the safety of Canada's transportation system and the travelling public.

Work environment

--------------------


Transport Canada (TC) employs over 6,000 talented and motivated employees working across Canada. We strive to serve the public interest through the promotion of a safe and secure, efficient and environmentally responsible transportation system in Canada.



As an employer, TC fosters employee well-being, provides an open and respectful workplace, competitive benefits, and flexible work arrangements that promote work-life balance.



The key activities of this position may require travel locally, regionally, and sometimes nationally or internationally. Typically, many work tasks will be performed in an office or telework environment, or in various indoor and outdoor aviation/industrial environments such as aircraft hangars and airport ramps and under varying weather conditions.



The main office location is 330 Spark Street (Tower C), Ottawa, Ontario. This location is in the Ottawa downtown core and is a close walk to tons of shops, restaurants, gyms and more! Take a walk to Parliament Hill during your lunch break or check out some fine-dining options after work just steps away. Transportation, not an issue: Lyon train station is a few feet away and also accessible all through underground indoor pathways so you can avoid stepping outside during the cold winter months.

Intent of the process

-------------------------


The intent of this process is to establish a pool of fully or partially qualified candidates to staff positions within Transport Canada Civil Aviation group in the National Capital Region.
