Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Officer

Petawawa, Canada Canadian Armed Forces Full time
Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Officer

OFFICER | Full Time, Part Time

As a member of the military, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Officers maintain and support all Army equipment, and the land-based equipment of the Royal Canadian Navy and the Royal Canadian Air Force.

As a member of the military, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Officers maintain and support all Army equipment, and the land-based equipment of the Royal Canadian Navy and the Royal Canadian Air Force. They are commissioned members of the Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Branch of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF).

Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Officers lead the soldier technicians who keep equipment in top condition and work in every equipment life-cycle phase, from design, evaluation and acquisition through in-service support to eventual disposal. Their duties involve leading staff and providing specialized engineering knowledge. They lead a team of highly skilled technicians of the Vehicle, Weapon, Electronic-Optronic and Materials occupations.

Work environment

Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Officers experience the unique adventures and challenges that come with working in different environments. Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Officers are employed at bases and garrisons across Canada and on deployed operations around the world. In the field or on deployment they may work outdoors.

Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Officers are first posted generally to a large workshop, where they lead a group of up to 30 technicians who maintain a wide range of equipment. Under the guidance and supervision of more senior officers they make the technical, administrative and training decisions for their team.

If you chose a career in theRegular 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. 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.

ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL ENGINEERING OFFICER

Reviewed – 23 Mar 23

CAPTAIN MATTHEW DORIS: I'm Captain Matthew Doris from Oshawa, Ontario, a Royal Canadian Electrical Mechanical Engineering officer serving at the 3 rd Battalion, Royal Canadian Regiment here in Petawawa, Ontario.

NARRATOR: Royal Canadian Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Officers – or RCEME Officers – are leaders in the field, commanding groups of Vehicle, Weapons, Electronic-Optronic and Materials Technicians who are responsible for maintaining military equipment.

CAPTAIN MATTHEW DORIS: Generally a RCEME Officer is a liaison between a higher headquarters and the technicians on the ground. We take the commanding officers’ intent of what they want to achieve with land equipment. We translate that into specific tasks, down to the specialized trades and how we can achieve that, giving them their timelines, their specific tasks. Your role really as a RCEME Officer is to enable those technicians to do their job. You don't need to be an expert on every single system. You just need to make sure that the person who is has the tools they need to succeed in that job.

CAPTAIN MATTHEW DORIS: Management administration as a RCEME Officer can be challenging – you have to be a human being at the end of the day, talk to your troops, and do what's best for them. You're trying to balance what the Canadian Army or Canadian Forces needs, but also the individual needs.

NARRATOR: RCEME Officers are employed at bases and garrisons across Canada as well as on exercises or deployed operations both here at home and around the world. In addition to managing the people who maintain and support all Army equipment, they also manage the care of the land-based equipment of the Royal Canadian Navy and the Royal Canadian Air Force. They may even have the opportunity to work with Canadian Special Operations Forces.

CAPTAIN MATTHEW DORIS: You may see equipment going down the trace, or weapons firing, and it looks really cool. But none of that happens without the RCEME technicians in the back, enabling those combat operators to do what they need to do.

NARRATOR: RCEME Officers can also be employed in other technical or logistical staff officer roles and at National Defence Headquarters in Ottawa, where they can expect to work on procurements or engineering projects at the strategic level, influencing and making decisions on the equipment that the Canadian Armed Forces will use for years to come.

CAPTAIN MATTHEW DORIS: The coolest part of being a RCEME officer is actually getting to see the equipment up close. You come down to the shop, you can see light-pattern vehicles or heavy-pattern vehicles, armoured vehicles – and then down to even the weapons. And you feel a lot of pride in enabling these technicians to do what they need to do and to succeed.

NARRATOR: Once they’ve completed their training, RCEME Officers are posted to one of the many Canadian Armed Forces bases across the country – generally to a large workshop, where they will lead a group of up to 30 technicians who maintain a wide range of equipment. They act as technical advisors to their commanders, planning and controlling the workload of their unit’s maintenance organization while handling unit-level personnel administration.

CAPTAIN MATTHEW DORIS: Once you get into the seat, there's a great deal of problem-solving you have to do on the fly that you learn very quick, and you learn by experience once you're in those positions. However, you typically have other RCEME Officers in the area and senior RCEME Officers who you can always look to for guidance.

CAPTAIN MATTHEW DORIS: One of the more memorable moments I’ve had was as an operations officer in Kuwait, was to serve my country and do what I can do to assist. Being a younger adult, you’re handed such high-level responsibility. And to work with other nations and achieve tasks that you didn’t think you’d actually be working on. It’s very interesting to see how you can jump into something at such a young age and have such a profound effect on an international scale.
