Air Operations Officer

3 months ago


Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada Canadian Armed Forces Full time

Air Operations Officers command, control, and coordinate air and space forces in tactical, operational, and strategic environments.

Air Operations Officers command, control, and coordinate air and space forces in tactical, operational, and strategic environments.They are expert in planning, directing, and leading air and space operations, leveraging experience developed at tactical units and formations to integrate those effects in higher-level joint, combined, and pan-domain operations and campaigns. Typical employment areas include unit and wing operations and command positions, air and space operations centres, joint ops and plans, in RCAF and CAF strategic roles, and with allies and partners in standing and deployed C2 nodes and headquarters.

Work environment

Air Operations Officers may be employed across the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), though typically within the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF). They typically begin their careers in flying or space squadrons/wings to develop capability-specific awareness. Following this, they may branch out into other capabilities or bring their expertise to bear on operational and strategic operations. They may also be employed in force generation activities as diverse as project management and requirements capture and tracking.

Air Operations Officers work alongside officers of the other air operations occupations. They bring an outside view of the aircraft to RCAF operations to complement those who begin their RCAF journey from inside an aircraft. They may be employed around the world from anywhere where air and space operations are based. This includes headquarters, airfields, ships, or in the field with the Army. They provide expertise in rescue coordination centers, headquarters and project offices.

MAJOR KENDRA BENCUN: I'm Major Kendra Bencun from Calgary, Alberta, an Air Operations Officer currently posted to 450 Tactical Helicopter Squadron in Garrison Petawawa, Ontario.

In the Royal Canadian Air Force, Air Operations Officers assist in mission planning, tasking, coordination and monitoring of air and space operations at the tactical, operational and strategic levels. At squadrons and headquarters here in Canada, they directly support air and space operations and lead Air Operations Centres. And they are experts in the stand-up and operation of Air Operations Centres wherever the RCAF deploys around the world.

MAJOR KENDRA BENCUN: The Air Operations Officer will be essentially the orchestrator of everything that happens on an airfield or on an operation, and essentially that means coordinating all elements that make everything flying work – from the meteorologists that will provide the baseline for decisions to launch aircraft to cleaning snow off the airfields, to being able to launch the aircraft and then recover them at the end of the day.

Air Operations Officers work alongside officers of the other air operations occupations like Pilots, Aerospace Control Officers and Aerospace Engineering Officers.

Air Operations Officers can be employed around the world, anywhere where air and space operations are based. This includes headquarters, airfields, ships, or even in the field with the Army. They also provide operations expertise in rescue coordination centres, headquarters and project offices.

MAJOR KENDRA BENCUN: The dynamic nature of operations means that this occupation needs to ensure that we have strong leaders because you are the centre point of contact for everyone and they rely on you for your sound judgment and calm nature.

MAJOR KENDRA BENCUN: In my previous occupation, I was involved in only one portion of the planning cycle, and now I get to encompass all of them. A very satisfying thing for me is that I can be that rock that can provide guidance and decision-making when there are people that are unsure on where they should proceed. And that is one of the most satisfying things that I see as an Air Operations Officer.

On completion of their military and occupation training, Air Operations Officers typically begin their careers in flying squadrons or wings to develop capability-specific awareness, after which they may branch out into other areas. They can also be assigned to project management and other staff activities.

MAJOR KENDRA BENCUN: For new members into the Air Operations occupation, it is expected that you will go to a first-line unit, which essentially means you will go to a flying squadron, which will allow you to learn all of the aspects of an operations centre at a low level and be able to be involved with the front line and launching of aircraft. You will be expected to coordinate and learn every section that's under the Operations Centre to ensure that you quickly understand how operations and air missions work.

MAJOR KENDRA BENCUN: My career thus far has been very rewarding and challenging, and I love the work that I've done, and I'm excited to move on to a new chapter in the Air Operations occupation. It's a very exciting time and we have the ability to be involved in every aspect of air missions, and I'm excited for the challenge.

Related Civilian Occupations

Although this occupation has no direct related civilian job, the experience, skills and leadership abilities developed in this position are highly valued by employers.

If you already have a university degree, the CAF will determine if your academic program matches the criteria for this job and may place you directly into the required on-the-job training program following Basic Military Officer Qualification training.
