Weapons Engineering Technician

3 months ago


Halifax Nova Scotia BB, Nova Scotia, Canada Canadian Armed Forces Full time

As a member of the military, Weapons Engineering Technicians are responsible for the corrective and planned maintenance activities of the Weapons, Communications, Radar, and Marine Navigation systems onboard a ship.

The primary responsibilities of Weapons Engineering Technicians are to:

  • Monitor and evaluate the performance of electronic equipment
  • Operate electronic diagnosis systems, specialized tools, and test equipment
  • Perform diagnostic analysis on components and systems to identify faults
  • Repair faulty electronic equipment to restore system function
  • Inspect, maintain, and install electronic components
  • Compile test logs, evaluation reports, equipment maintenance documentation, and read and interpret electronic drawings
Work environment

Weapons Engineering Technicians spend much of their career on board ships with “home ports” in either Halifax, Nova Scotia or Esquimalt, British Columbia. They experience the unique adventures and challenges that come with work at sea, such as working in small spaces, on open deck surfaces repairing and maintaining equipment, and a rotating shift or watch system.

Weapons Engineering Technicians usually work the regular day shift on board a ship they are assigned. In addition to their usual duties, subordinate Weapons Engineering Technicians perform out-of-occupation duties such as cleaning, painting, working in the cafeteria, and loading supplies.

The minimum required education to apply for this occupation is the completion of the provincial requirements for Grade 10 or Secondary 4 in Quebec, including minimum Grade 10 Applied Math (Math 426 or TS 4 in Quebec). It is an asset to have a Physics course at any level.

The ideal candidate will already have a college diploma or Red Seal for a related civilian occupation; the CAF will assess your training and experience and optimize your progression following basic training.
