About the Unit
As the Deputy Quality Manager at F 16, you will be part of a solution-oriented team within the Exercise Planning and Cooperation Department (A79). As part of the unit, you will learn a great deal about how an air wing operates and have the opportunity to build a large network both within and outside the unit. The wing staff is the entity that prepares and issues orders for the unit commander’s assignments to directly subordinate units.
The primary tasks of the Exercise Planning and Cooperation Department (A79) are to plan exercises at the unit level and to coordinate and implement parts of C F16 cooperation at regional and local levels with actors within total defense. The department leads the unit's audits in military aviation and drives the quality work and communication of the operations. As the Deputy Quality Manager, you will be part of a team that, together with other parts of the wing staff, supports C F 16.
Main Responsibilities
As the Deputy Quality Manager, you will be responsible for audits in military aviation, which includes planning and conducting audits against governing documents.

The position also involves planning and conducting training in the quality area.
