Water, Fuels and Environmental Technician

Non-Commissioned Member | Full Time, Part Time

As a member of the military, Water, Fuels and Environmental Technicians provide water supply, waste water treatment, and environmental engineering support to operational units at home and abroad. The Water, Fuels, and Environmental Technician job is one of seven Construction Engineering positions that provide all construction, civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering services to Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) operations. The primary responsibilities of the Water, Fuels, and Environmental Technician are to:

  • Install, operate, and maintain water treatment and supply systems
  • Install, operate, and maintain waste water collection and treatment systems
  • Set up and monitor various environmental programs
  • Produce associated mechanical designs and specifications
  • Produce associated mechanical drawings
  • Conduct reconnaissance related to the above
  • Assist other Construction Engineering tradespersons
Work Environment

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

Water, Fuels, and Environmental Technicians, or WFE Techs for short, are entrusted with one of the most important roles in the Canadian Armed Forces – ensuring that Canadian soldiers, sailors, and air crews are provided with clean, safe water on bases in Canada and wherever in the world they are deployed. WFE Techs also take care of contaminated water like the wastewater from showers and toilets and deal with it so that it can safely go back out to the environment. They work with many other areas of environmental concerns on bases in Canada and wherever in the world they are deployed, doing environmental sampling and component testing to make sure that everything is in compliance. They’re also involved in hazmat spill cleanup. This could be anything from a simple fuel spill on a runway to the worst-case scenario involving an unknown chemical.

In the fuels part of their trade, WFE Techs take care of the tank farms where fuel is stored. Whether it’s aviation, gas, diesel, or naval fuel, they ensure fuel delivery and storage systems are capable of delivering a safe product and make sure the fuel is clean and dry.

WFE Techs are also part of the Disaster Assistance Response Team, or DART, based at CFB Gagetown. They take care of the portable Reverse Osmosis Water Purification Unit, or ROWPU. When the DART deploys, the ROWPU is one of the most important tools they bring with them.

On completion of their military and primary trade training, WFE Techs are posted to an Air Force, Army, or Navy base for two years of on-the-job training. That involves pretty well all aspects of the trade, including time at a water treatment plant and at a wastewater treatment plant. They will also do some hands-on training with hazmat spill clean-up and environmental testing. It’s very comprehensive, with a lot of technical requirements, especially with regards to mathematics, chemistry, and lab work.
