Geomatics Technician

3 months ago

Ottawa Ontario HB, Montréal, Canada Canadian Armed Forces Part time

As a member of the military, Geomatics Technicians collect geospatial data using imagery and Global Positioning System devices and survey equipment. They capture, analyze, process, present, disseminate, and manage this data to support the operations of the Navy, the Army, and the Air Force.

Geomatics Technicians are members of the Military Engineering Branch of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF). Their primary responsibilities are to:

  • Collect geospatial data from satellite, aerial, and photo imagery, Global Positioning System devices, and survey equipment
  • Manage and fuse digital geospatial data and products from a wide range of sources
  • Produce digital and hard-copy maps, charts, three-dimensional visualizations, and other geospatial products to help military leaders understand and move in the battle space
  • Generate and reproduce digital geospatial products
  • Distribute geospatial products from the CAF Map Depot to units in garrison and on operations
  • Provide expert geomatics advice and liaison to CAF personnel at all levels of command
Work Environment

Geomatics Technicians are members of the Army but may support all CAF exercises and operations, including those led by the Royal Canadian Navy and the Royal Canadian Air Force. Most work at a base or station is done in an office environment in a major headquarters within Canada, using high-tech computer workstations and software designed for geomatics. Geomatics Technicians may also be employed aboard ships, on survey duties, and in Army units that train in the field and deploy on operations. Over the course of their career, they may be offered international postings, including exchanges with the United States Army.

If you choose a career in the Regular Force, upon completion of all required training, you will be assigned to your first base. While there is some flexibility regarding postings (relocations), accommodations can’t always be made, and therefore, you can expect to move at some point in your career. However, if you decide to join the Primary Reserve Force, you will do so 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 as a minimum, with possibilities of full-time employment.

Geomatics Technicians use advanced IT equipment and cutting-edge geospatial technology to create a virtual view of the landscape that’s used to plan and conduct important operations in Canada and around the world. They collect and analyze geospatial data from different sources to produce digital or paper maps using Advanced Geomatics Information Systems.

Geomatics Technicians are directly involved in the military planning process and can influence decisions at the highest levels. They must regularly complete ground surveys to ensure accuracy in all mapping products, which can include surveys of military airports, runways, remote sites in the North, or foreign cities overseas using highly accurate GPS receivers and other survey instruments such as LiDAR and Electronic Total Stations.

The minimum required education to apply for this occupation is the completion of the provincial requirements for Grade 11 or Quebec Secondary 5, including Grade 11 Applied Math or Math 426 in Quebec.
