Original job description
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.
If you’re looking to join a cutting-edge team operating some of the most capable platforms in Canada, with real operational impact, and you fit the above criteria, we’d like to hear from you.
Interested candidates can reach out to us directly via the website for more information
