Working with UNMAS
Working with UNMAS combines technical mine action with humanitarian, peacekeeping and development aims. Teams coordinate with authorities, UN entities, partners and donors on survey and clearance, risk education, weapons and ammunition management, data, policy and programme support. Careers range from field roles to management, finance, donor relations and political work. Most posts are country- or mission-specific and require experience for hazardous, complex settings; Secretariat vacancies are recruited through UN Careers and Inspira.

How to Apply for UNMAS Jobs
Once you find a suitable UNMAS vacancy on IGO Jobs or the UNMAS careers page, submit your application through UNMAS's official recruitment portal. Below is a guide on how to apply.
Official UNMAS application route ↗1Find a current UNMAS vacancy on UN Careers
UNMAS Secretariat vacancies are advertised through the United Nations Careers Portal, under the Department of Peace Operations. Search by job title, duty station or job family, then open the full notice. UNMAS recruitment includes headquarters, Nairobi and country-programme roles; apply through the vacancy rather than a general UNMAS contact address.
2Read the operational context and eligibility requirements
Review the assigned UNMAS section, reporting line, contract category, duty station, travel, languages, education and experience requirements. Field roles can require work in complex or hazardous operating environments, while headquarters roles may focus on policy, management, finance, partnerships or coordination. Meet the requirements in the specific notice, not a general description of mine-action work.
3Create or update your Inspira profile
Select **Apply** in the official UN Careers listing to access Inspira. Create an account if necessary and complete the required **My Profile** fields. Keep your contact information, employment dates and education accurate. The profile can be reused for future UN Secretariat applications, but every UNMAS application must be tailored to the particular vacancy.
4Complete the online application with role-specific evidence
Enter your education, employment history, skills, achievements, competencies and motivation in Inspira. Explain how your experience meets the stated functions, whether in programme management, explosive-hazard reduction, finance, political affairs, donor relations or operations. A separate CV does not replace the online application unless the vacancy specifically requests supporting documents.
5Submit before the stated deadline
Review all fields and statements before submitting. A submitted Inspira application cannot be changed for that job opening. Save the confirmation and monitor the email address linked to your account. Do not assume that experience in one UNMAS country programme automatically qualifies you for another: requirements, languages and contract categories are vacancy-specific.
6Prepare for the UN Secretariat assessment process
Candidates who meet the requirements may be invited to a written test, recorded video interview, work sample, assessment-centre exercise or panel interview. The assessment sequence depends on the vacancy. Prepare examples that show technical judgement, coordination, results delivery, integrity and the ability to work effectively with national authorities, UN partners and affected communities.
Recruitment safety: No. The United Nations does not charge fees for an application, interview, processing or training, and does not ask for bank-account information in recruitment. Confirm the vacancy on UN Careers and verify that its Department/Office and UNMAS reporting information are consistent. Treat payment requests or unofficial offers as fraudulent.
