No previous work experience or career-related skills are required.

Overview
Water, Fuels and Environmental Technicians give water supply, wastewater treatment and environmental engineering support to operational units at home and abroad.

The Water, Fuels and Environmental Technician is one of seven Construction Engineering positions that provide all construction, civil, electrical and mechanical engineering services to CAF operations. Their primary responsibilities include:

  • Installing, operating and maintaining water treatment and supply systems
  • Installing, operating and maintaining wastewater collection and treatment systems
  • Setting up and monitoring various environmental programs
  • Producing associated mechanical designs and specifications

  • Conducting reconnaissance related to the above
  • Assisting other Construction Engineering tradespersons

To be eligible to apply to the CAF, you must:

  • Be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident living in Canada
  • Be at least 18 years old (17 years old with parental consent), except:
    • For the paid education programs you may be 16 years old (with parental consent)
    • For the Primary Reserve you may be 16 years old (with parental consent) and must be enrolled as a full-time student
  • Have completed at least Grade 10 or Secondaire IV in Quebec (some jobs need higher levels of education)

Work Environment

Water, Fuels and Environmental Technicians can work day or night and must deal with the challenges of varying environmental conditions. They maintain their skills while employed at home units or on humanitarian and United Nations operational assignments.

Basic Military Qualification

The first stage of training is the Basic Military Qualification course, or Basic Training, held at the Canadian Forces Leadership and Recruit School in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Québec, or through various training establishments across Canada from Esquimalt, British Columbia, to Halifax, Nova Scotia. This training provides the basic core skills and knowledge common to all trades. One main goal of this course is to ensure all recruits maintain the CAF physical fitness standard; as a result, the training is physically demanding but achievable.

Water, Fuels and Environmental Technician Training

Water, Fuels and Environmental Technicians attend the Canadian Forces School of Military Engineering in Gagetown, New Brunswick. Training takes approximately 21 weeks and includes:

  • Environmental skills (such as defensive tactics and firearms)
  • Care and use of common and special purpose tools and test equipment
  • Application of occupational codes and regulations
  • Interpretation of drawings and schematics
  • Water distribution and treatment systems
  • Wastewater disposal and treatment systems
  • Fuel storage and distribution systems
  • Chemistry, fluids and mechanical principles
  • Math and physics
  • Brazing and welding techniques

Available Specialty Training

Water, Fuels and Environmental Technicians may be offered the opportunity to develop specialized skills through formal courses and on-the-job training for topics like:

  • Water Plant Technician
  • Wastewater Plant Technician
  • Environmental Assessor
  • Certified Engineering Technician (Mechanical)

Required Education

The minimum required education to apply for this position is the completion of the provincial requirements for Grade 10 or Secondaire IV in Quebec, including: Grade 10 Applied Math (Mathématiques 416 or Cultural, Social and Technical 4)Foreign education may be accepted.

Direct Entry Officer Plan

No previous work experience or career-related skills are required. A recruiter can help you decide if your interests and attributes fit. If you already have a university or college diploma, the CAF will decide if your academic program matches the criteria for this job and may place you directly into the necessary on-the-job training program following Basic Training. Basic Training is required before being assigned.
Please note that, if successful in the application process, you will be entering service in either the Regular Force (full-time employment) or Primary Reserve Force (part-time employment) of the Canadian Armed Forces as a military member.

• Regular Force: Upon completion of all required training, you will be assigned to your first base. While there is some flexibility with regards to postings (relocations), accommodations can't always be made, and therefore, you can likely expect to move at some point in your career.

• Primary Reserve Force: You will be joining the Primary Reserve Force through a specific Reserve unit. Outside of training, your chosen Reserve unit will be your workplace on a part time basis, and you will not be obligated to relocate to a different base. As part of the Primary Reserve Force, you typically work one night per week and some weekends with possibilities of full-time employment.
