Signals Intelligence Specialist - 21 Electronic Warfare Regiment, Canadian Armed Forces Reserve

This trade is one of several reserve positions available at 21 Electronic Warfare Regiment. Please contact us for an invite to an information session online or in person, which will include information on how this job can fit with current students and recent graduates.

Signals Intelligence Specialists intercept and analyze electronic transmissions, including foreign communications. Typically, Reserve Force members work or train with their home unit for one evening per week and two weekends per month, from September to May of each year. SIGINT Specialists work in a highly secure environment with restricted access, handling extremely sensitive information. At 21 Electronic Warfare Regiment initial training will center on common military skills followed by specialization in tactical Electronic Warfare. After completing basic training, additional soldier, driver and communications skills, candidates will learn to collect, process, analyze and report on electromagnetic activity on radio frequencies, using highly sophisticated equipment in an austere Army environment.

Candidates must be Canadian Citizens or Permanent Residents between 16 and 53 who are prepared to undergo both physical and classroom training. The SIGINT Specialist training requires an applicant to have a minimum of 10 months available for full time training in their first 3 years in the reserve. This can mean 2-4 summers, but training is available at other times of year. While this is delivered in a pattern easily matched to the availability of Post Secondary and Sr high school students, it is open to all. Workers in the gig economy, those whom are underemployed or are between positions have all been successful on an ongoing basis with this mixed part and full time position.

Successful candidates once they have complete training will be eligible to apply for positions at home or deployments abroad, may transfer to the regular force full time or take their skills to other positions. Information sessions are held weekly both online or in person and 1:1 sessions are held to follow up after the general information session at the start of your application. Applicants thru this website will automatically be sent additional information on the various positions and the next information sessions available. Positions at 21 EW Regiment are competitive, and candidates may not be successful in their first choice of trade. Invitations to attend an information session may also be requested from us directly.
