NATO INTERNATIONAL CIVILIAN (NIC) EMPLOYMENT

The need to provide continuity and specialist skills not found in the military, coupled with the cost of training military personnel in skills found in commerce, underpin the requirement for international civilian staff as an integral part of NATO’s military structure. At JATEC, NATO International Civilian Staff work along-side their military colleagues in functions which span the activities of the Centre in both operational and supporting roles. These include Operations Research & Analysis, Resource Management (HRM, Finance, Infrastructure), Communications & Information Technology and International Law.

The categories of NATO International Civilian staff employed NATO-wide range from NATO Grade (NG) 8 to NG 22.

Currently, the categories of NATO International Civilian staff employed at the JATEC range from NATO Grade (NG) 10 to NG 17.
Serving NATO International Civilian staff will be offered a contract in accordance with the NATO Civilian Personnel Regulations. Newly recruited staff will be offered an initial contract of three years with possibility of renewal. The mandatory retirement age for NATO is 65.
