Search and rescue technician

Search and rescue technicians locate and extract people in danger in wilderness, water, or disaster situations. The work is highly physical and technical: navigating hazardous terrain, performing rope, water, or confined-space rescues, providing emergency care, and making rapid decisions in unpredictable, dangerous conditions.

They work for emergency services and specialist rescue teams. The role suits fit, courageous, technically skilled people who can operate in extreme environments, stay calm in crisis, and carry the physical and emotional demands of high-stakes rescues where lives hang on their skill.
