When students take courses and gain accreditation, the goal is often full-time or salaried employment. However, specific industries, like power engineering, offer workers a way to gain experience, expand industry connections, and earn competitive salaries outside of this model. At TFM, we provide a short-term power engineering staffing program that offers engineers and facilities alike the opportunity to grow and expand while meeting industry demands. Here’s how our short-term power engineering staffing program benefits power engineers and plant managers.
How Short-Term Contracts Help Develop Power Engineers
For new graduates, whether entering the trades or leveling up in classifications, these roles offer flexibility and exposure to various industries. Workers can gain hands-on experience in different environments to discover which suits them best instead of committing to a single role, industry, or site. Within these temporary placements, TFM’s short-term power engineer corps can build their résumé and skill set quickly while still earning a competitive wage and having job security.
Even experienced 4th Class Power Engineers benefit from short-term power engineering roles. These contracts offer networking opportunities, continuous learning, and exposure to the latest technologies in different facilities. Engineers with short-term job placements strengthen their expertise and industry connections in an ever-evolving field while still enjoying the freedom to choose assignments that align with their personal interests and professional goals.
How Short-Term Contracts Help Employers Fill Critical Gaps
A multitude of facilities across Canada often rely on temporary labour, and power engineers are no exception. Short-term power engineers are able to help manage operational demands, unexpected absences, seasonal workloads, and more; meanwhile, through temporary power engineering placements, companies ensure continued efficiency and safety in their operations without committing to the long-term responsibilities of a full-time hire. These contracts provide much-needed support for 4th Class power engineering workers in various situations, such as:
- Covering planned leaves, such as parental leave or sabbaticals
- Seasonal education-related absences, allowing apprentices to attend classes
- Supporting large-scale maintenance projects and system upgrades
- Managing increased workloads due to peak business periods
- Providing coverage during flu season or unexpected staff shortages

At TFM, our instructors provide hands-on training to equip 4th Class power engineering students with the skills they need for immediate fieldwork; our power engineering program graduates don’t just gain certification; they gain real-world experience that makes them job-ready from day one in highly competitive markets and industries.
With that knowledge base, many TFM graduates choose to join the school’s short-term power engineering coverage program immediately after completing their training. This initiative allows well-trained graduates with flexible training to connect with vetted facilities professionals in need of short-term industrial staffing solutions. It’s a win-win; operations managers gain access to a pool of highly skilled, highly trained power engineers while workers are able to secure lucrative and educational opportunities in reputable workplaces that hone their professional capacities.
