Opportunity

Are you looking for a fast-paced job with the opportunity to work with some of the most advanced communication and computer systems in the world? As a Naval Communicator in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), you’ll play an integral role on Canadian destroyers, frigates and submarines.

Overview

Naval Communicators establish and manage all external voice, radio teletype and data circuits to provide real-time tactical information in support of operations. They maintain communications with national and allied networks over radio frequencies required for mission coordination, using tactical line-of-sight, long-range and satellite communications. Their primary duties include :

• Radio-teletype
• Computer networking
• Satellite, tactical voice and visual communications
• Classified and unclassified computer networks
• Computer-based message processing networks
• Radio communication control systems
• Supporting high-speed data and imagery exchanges
• Tactical signalling and ship manoeuvring advisory
• Encoding and decoding signals

Naval Communicators work with their fellow shipmates in out-of-occupation duties such as watch-keeper or sentry. They may also act as line handlers or ship-hands for entering and leaving the harbour. They participate in search and rescue events, take part in emergency response for security watches and routinely perform ship maintenance and repairs. If necessary, a Naval Communicator may serve as a member of the Naval Boarding Party to inspect the cargo of suspect vessels and detain the vessel’s crew during inspections.
