Marine Technician Job Description

Are you passionate about working with your hands and the sea? As a Marine Technician in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), you'll be responsible for operating and maintaining complex propulsion, mechanical, and power generation systems on Royal Canadian Navy warships.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Operate and maintain marine systems engineering equipment onboard the ship
  • Troubleshoot failures and advise command on limitations
  • Complete repairs to restore system function
  • Execute and track maintenance schedules
  • Respond to emergencies as the onboard expert in firefighting and damage control
  • Participate in helicopter crash rescue and act as the ship's metal worker
Training and Education:

Marine Technicians attend Naval Fleet School Pacific in Esquimalt, British Columbia, for several months, learning about basic mechanical, electrical, and hull systems theory, as well as basic preventive and corrective maintenance for marine systems.

They also receive training in emergency responses to equipment failures, emergency burning and welding equipment and procedures, and repair of watertight and non-watertight closures.

Specialized Training:

Marine Technicians may be offered the opportunity to develop specialized skills through formal courses and on-the-job training for topics like helicopter crash rescue firefighting, welding, fabrication/machining, diesel inspection, and gas turbine maintenance.

Requirements:

To be eligible to apply, you must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident living in Canada, be at least 18 years old (17 years old with parental consent), and have completed at least Grade 10 or Secondaire IV in Québec.

Paid Education Options are available, including the NCM Subsidized Training and Education Program (STEP), which provides full-time salaries and education in exchange for working with the CAF for a period of time.

Work Environment: Marine Technicians spend much of their career on board ships based in either Halifax, Nova Scotia, or Esquimalt, British Columbia, working in limited light conditions and small spaces, and may also work on open deck surfaces in various weather conditions.
