WE’RE HIRING: UAS OPERATORS
Canadian UAVs are looking for UAS Operators/Maintainers to join our Military Programs Team as we continue to expand our operational capabilities and support defence and government clients.
We’re looking for people with a strong military background, practical ISR experience and the technical knowledge required to support safe, effective UAS operations in demanding environments.
To be clear, i am looking for operators, not managers. This is a hands-on role for someone who wants to be involved with the aircraft, the equipment and the mission, rather than simply oversee others doing the job.
What i'm looking for:
🔹 Transport Canada Advanced RPAS Certificate. Level 1 Complex (L1C) qualification would be an asset but is not essential.
🔹 Must have a minimum of 5 years’ military service within a Five Eyes (FVEY) nation.
🔹 Regular Force military experience preferred, but applicants with Reserve Force experience are also encouraged to apply.
🔹 Knowledge of ISR operations preferred, but not essential.
🔹 Networking knowledge and capabilities would be an asset.
🔹 Strong technical aptitude, including practical knowledge of UAS systems, troubleshooting, maintenance, fault diagnosis and aircraft servicing.
🔹 A solid understanding of modern UAS operations, mission planning and execution preferred, but not essential.
🔹 Government of Canada security clearance: Must currently hold, or have previously held, at least Reliability Status, with the ability to obtain and maintain the required Secret clearance.
🔹 Must be based in the Calgary area, within commuting distance, or be willing to relocate.
🔹 Must hold Canadian citizenship or permanent resident status.
🔹 Valid Class 5 driver’s licence at a minimum, with a clean driving record.
🔹 Physically fit and capable of safely lifting a minimum of 30 kg.
