Where Can I Find Work, and What Support Resources are Available?

Here at Aviano, Many Job Types are Available to You:

NAF & GS

NAF & GS jobs are federal positions within squadrons or groups on base. NAF (non-appropriated funds) positions are largely within our MWR (morale, welfare & recreation) components, and span a wide breadth of fields and types of work. GS positions are located across base, and also offer a wide variety of opportunities.

All non-teaching positions, as well as substitute positions, are posted on USAJobs.com

Remote Work

Due to a recent agreement between the US State Department and Italian Government, spouses are now allowed to legally hold remote jobs! There are a few key considerations for this:

You may remote work for a U.S.-Based Company only. Companies in Italy, the rest of Europe, or anywhere other than the U.S. are not permitted for spouse remote work under the SOFA.

Please note that individual companies may have their own policies regarding remote work and where their employees are physically located. Be sure to inquire about this as you apply.

For more detailed information, please reach out to the Aviano Legal Office at 0434-30-7843.
