During this time, W Eng Techs can use their day to perform preventative or corrective maintenance on any of the weapons, sensors or communications systems, progress their training, stand duty watches, or assist other departments with common work onboard.

Some shore postings for W Eng Techs include IT departments for other units, instructional and support staff at the Naval Fleet School in either Esquimalt, BC or Halifax, NS, or in any other position available that would require the specific skills that W Eng Techs receive.
