Work environment
The Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) is a special operating agency within the Department of National Defence (DND). We work to ensure the safety of mariners in Canadian waters and protect Canada’s marine environment. We support Canada’s economic growth through the safe and efficient movement of maritime trade. We help to ensure our country’s sovereignty and security through our presence in Canadian waters. The CCG proudly serves 243,000 kilometers of Canada’s vast and rugged coastline, the longest coastline of any given country, and is one of the few federal agencies that provides direct, front-line services 24 hours a day 7 days a week.Integrated Technical Services (ITS) is a dynamic organization within the Canadian Coast Guard (CCG), with the mandate to deliver technical services and solutions in order to ensure that the CCG’s varied physical assets are capable, reliable and available to deliver CCG Programs to Canadians. Marine Engineering (ME) is a branch within CCG's ITS Directorate in Headquarters and in the region that consists of a national team of marine professionals—engineers, marine engineers, technicians and others—who work collectively with other ITS branches and Fleet with a focus on in-service support for all marine engineering aspects in both our current and future fleet.ME provides national strategic and functional management, engineering and leadership in the delivery of life cycle asset management. Marine Engineering has 7 units that enhance Coast Guard's ability to plan, manage, execute and report vessel maintenance as well as providing and interfacing technical expertise across the country to the CCG marine engineering community.These positions normally work in an office environment with frequent periods of travel when the incumbent visits vessels, ship yards and other contractor sites.
