3rd Class Marine Engineer - Spill Response Technician

Western Canada Marine Response Corporation (WCMRC) is a Transport Canada certified Response Organization, whose mandate is to ensure there is a state of preparedness in place and to mitigate the impact when an oil spill occurs. This includes the protection of wildlife, economic and environmental sensitivities, and the safety of both the responders and the public. Included among WCMRC’s customer base are oil handling facilities, barging companies, freighters visiting our ports, ferries, cruise ships, and US bound vessels traveling through Western Canadian waters.

WCMRC is recruiting for a 3rd Class Marine Engineer (Spill Response Technician) to join its South Coast spill response team, located in Burnaby, B.C.

The spill response team is comprised of professionals with diverse skills and experience. Their ability to effectively manage and direct spill response procedures within the first few hours after response activation significantly reduces the negative impacts oil can have on the surrounding environment. On a spill site, WCMRC personnel work to ensure that the situation is thoroughly assessed, response strategies are carefully devised, and resultant countermeasures are quickly deployed.

The specific responsibilities for this position include providing safe, prompt and efficient support to spill incidents, exercises and preparedness projects, maintaining spill response equipment to ensure all equipment is operational and response ready at all times, and ensuring that all activities are carried out with due regard to personal safety, the safety of others, and in line with company policies and procedures.

The successful candidate will possess a 3rd Class Marine Engineer certificate, a minimum of three years of previous experience with marine and small power equipment maintenance, working knowledge of local coastlines, and emergency response training and/or experience. You will also need to be a collaborative team player who thrives on coordinating and interacting with multiple people on multiple projects, and who is able to manage shifting priorities.

WCMRC values open and honest communication that fosters a climate of trust, integrity in all our business practices, success through competency, creativity and teamwork, and being a steward of the environment. Putting these values into practice creates long-term benefits for the employees, shareholders, stakeholders, suppliers and the communities served.

If you share the company's values and believe that you have the necessary knowledge, experience and enthusiasm to succeed in this position, then to apply, send a cover letter and detailed resume by email to [email protected] or by fax to 604-293-3021.

Thank you in advance for your response and regret that only those individuals who are selected for an interview will be contacted.
