Mobile Support Equipment Operator (trucker, driver, heavy machine operator) Overview As a member of the military, Mobile Support Equipment Operators operate military vehicles ranging in size from standard automobiles to snow removal equipment and all-terrain vehicles. The primary responsibilities of the Mobile Support Equipment Operator are to: * Operate buses, automobiles, trucks and tractor-trailers * Operate specialized mobile equipment such as fuelling tankers, snowplows, tractors and all-terrain vehicles * Receive, load, secure and unload materiel and equipment transported by road * Provide transportation support for combat and field operations * Maintain equipment in serviceable condition by cleaning, inspecting and correcting minor faults * Prepare dispatch schedules and coordinate user requirements for vehicles and equipment * Prepare and maintain job-related forms, records and reports Work environment Mobile Support Equipment Operators encounter a variety of employment and environmental conditions as they are required to operate a broad range of mobile support equipment. Conditions may vary from working indoors on bases to working outdoors, especially during field operations and while on missions abroad. If you chose a career in the Regular Force, upon completion of all required training, you will be assigned to your first base. While there is some flexibility with regards to postings (relocations), accommodations can’t always be made, and therefore, you can likely expect to move at some point in your career. However, if you decide to join the Primary Reserve Force, you will do so through a specific Reserve unit. Outside of training, your chosen Reserve unit will be your workplace on a part time basis, and you will not be obligated to relocate to a different base. As part of the Primary Reserve Force, you typically work one night per week and some weekends as a minimum with possibilities of full-time employment. Salary Competitive Salary The CAF offers competitive salaries. Your skills, knowledge, experience and training can impact your starting salary. As a new direct entry recruit in the Regular Force, you could earn anywhere from $3,614 to $5,304 per month, while you complete basic training. Once you are fully trained for your chosen occupation, your salary will continue to increase based on your time in the military, rank and acquired skills. Starting salaries are based on equivalent careers for entry level positions within the private sector. The benefits of continuous professional development, training, healthcare and pension from the moment you enroll separate the CAF from every other private sector opportunity. https://forces.ca/en/career/mobile-support-equipment-operator/ Company: Comox 19 Wing Salary: $3,614 to $5,304 per month Contract: PERMANENT
