Rise Above

“My team works on cutting-edge fly-by-wire helicopters; which integrate 64 computers and millions of lines of code.  Every day, I get to work with amazing people to find innovative solutions to complex problems. If working with a motivated team and with the latest-generation technology is your dream too, consider the RCAF.”

"Joining the Canadian Armed Forces as a Construction Engineer has meant that no day is ever the same! It’s given me the opportunity to learn and grow as a leader and as an individual, all while seeing parts of the world that most people only dream of. My deployment to Operation IMPACT, Canada’s Training Mission in the Middle East, is no exception; I’ve been lucky enough to work with the most dedicated and hardworking team delivering construction projects to enable operations across the Joint Operations Area covering Kuwait, Iraq, Jordan and Lebanon. If you are looking for a rewarding, energizing and dynamic career – look no further!"

"This is a challenging job that makes you learn every day. Being an Avionics Systems Technician has allowed me to travel across Canada and around the world. Solving problems is part of my job, it is challenging and rewarding to know you can make a difference in the success of a mission. If you like the challenge and adventure, join us and be a part of our team."

"I chose a career path that absolutely terrified me: mechanics in the aviation technology world! I joined with zero experience, zero self-confidence and had never been away from home. I can say the RCAF gave me all of that through my training and on-the-job experiences. My dream is to see more young women out on the hangar floor, elbows deep in engine oil and getting that sense of accomplishment of signing off the engine and releasing it for flight. There is no greater feeling than hearing the engines fire up and feeling the vibrations of the afterburner at full throttle knowing that you built it! Challenge yourself and you will most certainly surprise yourself!”
