About the SRC Classification
The SRC (Ship Repair Chargehand East) group covers charge hands and working supervisors in federal ship repair operations on Canada's east coast. SRC employees are experienced tradespeople who combine hands-on repair work with first-line supervisory responsibilities — coordinating repair crews, planning work sequences, ensuring quality standards, and maintaining safety protocols during vessel maintenance and refit operations.
SRC positions bridge the gap between skilled tradespeople (SR group) and management. SRC charge hands are expected to perform trade work while simultaneously directing and coordinating the work of their repair crews. The role requires both deep trade expertise and leadership ability, as charge hands must make real-time decisions about repair priorities, work methods, and resource allocation during complex vessel maintenance projects.
The SRC group is small and specialized, reflecting the limited number of federal ship repair facilities on the east coast. Like the SR group, SRC employment provides stable work with pension benefits in the maritime trades sector. The charge hand role is an important stepping stone between tradesperson and formal management positions in federal ship repair operations.
