Job description

Non-Commissioned Member | Full Time, Part Time

As a member of the military, Intelligence Operators collect information from various sources to support operations, planning and decision-making for the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) and the Government of Canada.

Key Responsibilities

• Collect, process, analyze and disseminate intelligence
• Identify and analyze intelligence and information from multiple sources, which is likely to affect military operations, national policies and objectives
• Advise and assist in the coordination of intelligence tools and surveillance systems
• Provide intelligence briefings and written products to commanders and their staff
• Operate, manage and safeguard information technology systems
• Work with and safeguard highly classified material

Work Environment

Intelligence Operators work mainly in an office environment at bases and wings across Canada, but they can also work on board ships at sea and in the field in various climates and conditions while participating in national and international operations. As you progress in your career, you may also have the opportunity to be posted internationally.

If you choose 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 regarding 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.

Qualifications

No previous work experience or career-related skills are required. CAF recruiters can help you decide if your personal interests and attributes match the criteria for this occupation. The minimum required education to apply for this occupation is the completion of the provincial requirements for Grade 11 or Secondary 5 in Quebec and an English or French course at the Grade 11 level or Secondary 5 level in Quebec.
