    Mechanical Technician - Ontario, Canada - Canadian Armed Forces

    Default job background
    Description
    Non-Commissioned Member | Full Time, Part Time

    As a member of the military, Refrigeration and MechanicalTechnicians provide heating, ventilation and air conditioning, refrigeration, aircraft-arresting systems and radar systems engineering support to operational units at home and abroad.

    As a member of the military, Refrigeration and MechanicalTechnicians provide heating, ventilation and air conditioning, refrigeration, aircraft-arresting systems and radar systems engineering support to operational units at home and abroad.

    The Refrigeration and Mechanical 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 Refrigeration and MechanicalTechnician are to:
    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
    Produce associated mechanical drawings
    Refrigeration and Mechanical Technicians often work with the challenges that come with varying environmental conditions.

    During peacetime, Refrigeration and Mechanical Technicians maintain their skills while employed at home units or on humanitarian and United Nations operational assignments.

    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.

    I'm Aviator Brandon Simms, I'm from St-John's, Newfoundland, I'm a Refrigeration and Mechanical Systems Technician posted to CFB Trenton.

    And I'm Corporal Steven Blundon from Newmarket, Ontario, a Refrigeration and Mechanical Systems Technician posted to CFB Trenton.

    Refrigeration and Mechanical Systems Technicians, or RM Techs, install and service the refrigeration systems for our food storage lockers and the air conditioning units on base here at home and on deployments overseas.


    SIMMS:

    Here at home, most of what we do is service calls on refrigeration and mechanical systems in headquarters buildings, shops, garages and barracks, and in the kitchens of the messes.


    SIMMS:

    It could be something from: changing a belt in a filter, to replacing an entire HVAC system or working on a rooftop.

    RM Techs service aircraft hangar doors and the mechanical components of our aircraft radar systems and of course, we're soldiers first and foremost.

    We also maintain, operate and rebuild aircraft arresting equipment.

    Here at 86 ASU in Trenton, we mainly work on the aircraft arresting systems but we also get time to go over to the refrigeration shop to help maintain the heating and air conditioning and refrigeration on base.

    I mean, we do air shows across Canada basically all summer, doing soil installs, concrete installs. To me, the diversity is the best part of the job.

    A good day as an RM Tech:

    you could be going from one job doing an overhead door, the next job doing radar towers, and then you can jump onto a roof to do the rooftop units, and working with HVAC.

    And then the next day, you could be coming into our shop working on the aircraft arresting systems. When you go on deployment, that's when things get really exciting.

    If serving as a Refrigeration and Mechanical Systems Technician sounds like something you want to try, you'll need a good background in math and science and a willingness to keep learning new things all the time.

    After your basic military training, you'll be ready for the School of Military Engineering in Gagetown.

    When you leave Gagetown, you'll be posted to an Army, Navy or Air Force base in Canada and you'll be ready for deployment wherever there's a need for RM Techs.

    You work up step by step and then you eventually get more training to become a journeyman.

    There are refrigeration and mechanical systems technicians on every base in Canada, so we're pretty much good-to-go anywhere, which is another great thing about this trade.

    My favourite part about being an RM Tech is getting a skill base that will allow me to not only do my trade better in the military, but help me for when I retire out of the military.

    Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning Technician

    No previous work experience or career related skills are required. CAF recruiters can help you decide if your personal interests and attributes match the criteria for this occupation.
