Job description

Overview

As a member of the military, Drafting and Survey Technicians (DS Tech) provide both deployed and domestic drafting and survey support to the Canadian Armed Forces and other government departments anywhere in the world. Drafting and Survey Technicians belong to the Military Engineering Branch of the Canadian Armed Forces. Their primary responsibilities are :

  • Collect geodetic survey data using the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and other survey equipment
  • Use data to produce digital and hard copy civil and site drawings, and designs of specific areas
  • Use computer aided design (CAD) software to produce digital and hard copy designs
  • Provide survey and drawing support to military specialist engineering teams

Work environment

Drafting and Survey Technicians are members of the Royal Canadian Air Force. They may be called upon to support all CAF exercises and operations, including those led by the Royal Canadian Navy. The primary work environment is in an office; fieldwork is a large component of the job and is conducted in approved weather conditions, 24 / 7, on bases, wings or in operational theatres. Drafting and Survey Technicians use high-tech computer workstations and software designed for drafting and survey applications. They are employed in Kingston, ON and Gagetown, NB. As you progress in your career, there may also be the opportunity to be posted to Brussels, Belgium.

Entry plans

  • Direct Entry Options
  • 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.

    The minimum required education to apply for this occupation is the completion of the provincial requirements for Grade 11 high school, Secondary 5 in Quebec or equivalent secondary school education, including Grade 11 applied math, or Secondary 5 applied math in Quebec. Foreign education may be accepted.

    Training

    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. This training provides the basic core skills and knowledge common to all trades. A goal of this course is to ensure that all recruits maintain the CAF physical fitness standard; as a result, the training is physically demanding.

    Drafting and Survey Technicians attend the Canadian Forces School of Military Engineering (CFSME) at Canadian Forces Base Gagetown, Oromocto, New Brunswick. You will receive instruction from civilian and military instructors on the following topics :

  • Planning and conducting land surveys
  • Mathematics related to survey
  • Data and material management
  • Auto CAD software
  • Producing Civil designs
  • Producing building systems designs
  • Performing construction stakeouts
  • Producing as-Built drawings
  • Construction Engineering common tasks and safety
  • Drafting and Survey Technicians may be offered the opportunity to develop specialized skills through formal courses and on-the-job training, including :

  • Geodetic terrestrial survey training
  • Advanced geodetic applications
  • Specialized design software
  • Part time options

    This position is available for part-time employment with the Primary Reserve at certain locations across Canada. Reserve Force members usually serve part time at a military unit in their community, and may serve while going to school or working at a civilian job. They are paid during their training. They are not posted or required to relocate. However, they can volunteer to move to another base. They may also volunteer for deployment on a military mission within or outside Canada.

    Reserve Force members are trained to the same level as their Regular Force counterparts. They usually begin training with their home unit to ensure that they meet the required basic professional military standards. Following basic military training, the home unit will arrange for additional training for specialized skills.

    Reserve Force members usually serve part-time with their home unit for scheduled evenings and weekends, although they may also serve in full-time positions at some units for fixed terms, depending on the type of work that they do. They are paid 92.8 percent of Regular Force rates of pay, receive a reasonable benefits package and may qualify to contribute to a pension plan.
