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.
Responsibilities
Operate buses, automobiles, trucks and tractor‑trailers
Operate specialized mobile equipment such as fuelling tankers, snowplows, tractors and all‑terrain vehicles

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 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 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.
