Job Summary
A career in Air Traffic Services with NAV CANADA is anything but ordinary. We manage 18 million square kilometers of Canadian and oceanic airspace, and with 40,000 customers and 3.3
million flights a year, we are one of the largest Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) in the world!
A career with NAV CANADA is both challenging and rewarding, and no two days on the job are the same. The services provided by our Air Traffic Controllers and Flight Service Specialists help pilots keep aircraft safely separated from other aircraft and obstacles, while in flight or on the ground.
Job Description
Our Air Traffic Controllers are responsible for coordinating the safe, efficient and orderly flow of air traffic in seven flight information regions, working in Control Towers and Area Control Centres (ACCs) across the country.
Area Controllers, often referred to as instrument flight rules (IFR)
controllers, are based out of ACCs, each of which is responsible for air
traffic in a large section of Canadian airspace. Area Controllers train and
work out of Area Control Centres in Vancouver, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Toronto,
Montreal, Moncton or Gander.
Tower Controllers, also known as visual flight rules (VFR) controllers,
have a direct view of the airport and aircraft, and use radio communication to
issue instructions and clearances. After completing training, tower controllers
work at one of 40 airports across Canada.
Our Flight Service Specialists provide timely, essential information to
arriving and departing aircraft at their respective locations such as: traffic
advisories, control vehicles on the ground, weather information, flight
guidance and airport advisory services.
Flight Service Specialists (AAS) provide a wide range of essential
information, from helping pilots select a runway to controlling the movement of
vehicles on runways and taxiways. Our Flight Service Specialists are located in
communities all across the country.
Flight Service Specialists (FIC) work in teams at Flight Information
Centres that provide flight-planning services and deliver in-depth interpretive
weather information and en-route flight information to aircraft operating in
Canadian airspace. Our Flight Information Centres are located in Edmonton,
Kamloops, Quebec, Winnipeg, Halifax, London, and Whitehorse.
