Job Bank prices the combat engineer trade at a median of $34.35 an hour, about $71,000 a year full time. Military pay is a monthly salary set by rank and years served, not an hourly wage, and the rates are published by the Government of Canada. Technical trades such as aircraft and marine technicians sit on higher scales.
