Barrie, Ontario, Canada Canadian Armed Forces Full time
Job Summary

The Canadian Armed Forces is seeking a skilled Refrigeration and Mechanical Systems Technician to join our team. As a member of our construction engineering team, you will provide heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, refrigeration, aircraft-arresting systems, and radar systems engineering support to operational units at home and abroad.

Key Responsibilities
  • Install, operate, maintain, and repair fixed and mobile refrigeration systems and associated control equipment
  • Install, operate, maintain, and repair heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems and associated control equipment
  • Install, operate, maintain, and repair aircraft arresting systems
  • Install, operate, maintain, repair, and overhaul mechanical systems associated with aircraft radar systems

Requirements

  • Be at least 18 years old (17 years old with parental consent)
  • Have completed at least Grade 10 or Secondary 4 in Quebec (including Grade 10 applied math or math 416/CST 4 in Quebec)
Work Environment

As a Refrigeration and Mechanical Systems Technician, you will often work in varying environmental conditions. During peacetime, you will maintain your skills while employed at home units or on humanitarian and United Nations operational assignments.

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 with regards to postings (relocations), accommodations cannot 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.

Training and Education

The first stage of training is the Basic Military Qualification course, or Basic Training, held at the Canadian Forces Leadership and Recruit School in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec, or through various training establishments across Canada.

This training provides the basic core skills and knowledge common to all trades.

One main goal of this course is to ensure all recruits maintain the CAF physical fitness standard; as a result, the training is physically demanding but achievable.

Refrigeration and Mechanical Systems Technicians attend the Canadian Forces School of Military Engineering in Gagetown, New Brunswick.

Training takes approximately 24 weeks and includes:

  • Environmental skills such as defensive tactics and firearms
  • Care and use of common and special purpose tools and test equipment
  • Application of occupational codes and regulations
  • Interpretation of drawings and schematics
  • Fixed and portable refrigeration systems
  • Aircraft radar systems
  • Physics, mechanical, electrical, and electronic principles
  • Aircraft hangar doors
  • Brazing and welding techniques
Specialty Training

Refrigeration and Mechanical Systems Technicians may be offered the opportunity to develop specialized skills through formal courses and on-the-job training, including:

  • Heating ventilation and air conditioning controls
  • Aircraft arresting systems
  • Instructional techniques
  • Team leaders course
  • Fixed aircraft arresting technician course
  • Coastal radar mechanical systems course
  • Air surveillance radar mechanical systems course
