    Description
    Non-Commissioned Member | Full Time, Part Time
    As a member of the military, Electrical GenerationSystems Technicians provides electrical power generation support to operational units.
    As a member of the military, Electrical GenerationSystems Technicians provides electrical power generation support to operational units.

    The Electrical GenerationSystems Technician is one of the seven Construction Engineering occupations involved in the supply of all construction, civil, electrical and mechanical engineering services in support of Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) operations worldwide.

    The primary responsibilities of the Electrical GenerationSystems Technicians are to:

    Install, operate, maintain and repair mobile electrical generators and associated control equipment
    Install, operate, maintain and repair power plant electrical generators and associated control equipment
    Overhaul electrical generation systems and equipment
    Produce mechanical and electrical drawings
    Perform brazing/welding and machining work

    Electrical GenerationSystems Technicians are members of the Air Force but may be assigned to work in the Army or Navy environment as members of the Construction Engineering team.

    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 Corporal Jessica Provencher from Rouyn-Noranda, Abitibi-Témiscamingue – an Electrical Generating Systems Technician based at 8 Wing Trenton, Ontario.

    In the Canadian Armed Forces, the strength of the military often depends on electrical power.

    Electrical Generating Systems Technicians – or EGS Techs for short – make sure that the current never stops flowing.

    We can be anywhere when they need us – in the field, in exercise, on deployment – when you can't tap to the grid.

    In the Regular Force or the Reserves, EGS Techs are the hands-on experts who know everything about the machinery that converts mechanical power into electrical voltage.

    I ended up being an Electrical Generating Systems Technician because I had an electrical background before I joined the military, and when I got told that this was part-electrical, part-mechanical, I was very interested.

    EGS Techs areresponsible for the installation, operation, and maintenance of anything from generator sets, to uninterruptible power supplies, frequency converters, and motor generators.

    Sometimes you encounter problems, you get called up to fix a generator – it could be a mechanical problem, or it can also be an electrical problem.

    On completion of their military and occupational training, Electrical Generating Systems Technicians get posted to an Army, Navy or Air Force base in Canada.

    I got posted to Winnipeg at first, and over there you're working with a journeyman – there's always someone with you.

    You start slowly, doing oil changes, checks on a generator, learning how to do the checks on a generator, and eventually, a trouble comes up and you're working with your journeyman to fix it and that's how you keep going and learning.

    EGS Techsare an important part of the Construction Engineering division of the Canadian Armed Forces, working alongside Electrical Distribution Techs, Drafting and Survey Techs, Construction Techs, Plumbing and Heating Techs, Mechanical and Refrigeration Techs as well as Water, Fuels and Environment Techs to support Canadian Armed Forces operations here at home and overseas.

    You're the first person on the ground, you have to plan where you're going to put the generators, you have to come up with a solution for powering the whole exercise camp, you have to work with other trades as well.

    You know, you need to figure out how you're going to build that camp.
    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.
