**Role Responsibilities**:
The Hoist Crews are a trial initiative which will provide a distinct opportunity to join one of two, five-person, initial attack crews with hoist capable aircraft for remote access.

These Hoist Crews are dedicated teams committed to exploring how hoisting operations can safely integrate into wildfire operations for the purpose of containing and fully extinguishing fires in remote areas of the province. Due to the capabilities of the hoist aircraft these crews may also be used to help extract wildfire staff when required.

Interested individuals will be expected to gather data, document experiences, and provide feedback during the trial process. These expectations are in addition to the teamwork, effective communication, analytical thinking, and the continual situational awareness required to respond to wildfires. You will provide insights into aviation operations and foster personal growth among crew members.

As a leader within this team, you will be trained by the hoist capable aircraft vendor to operate the hoist to insert and extract the hoist crew. Determining feasibility, identifying safety hazards and communication will be key attributes required.
