Class Assistant information

What is a class assistant?

Class Assistants are individuals who support teachers and instructors in managing classroom activities and ensuring a positive learning environment. Their responsibilities often include helping to prepare materials, assisting students with assignments, supervising group work, and providing additional support to students who need it. Class Assistants play an important role in fostering effective communication between teachers and students, and they help maintain classroom organization. This role is common in schools, colleges, and training centers, and can also be known as teaching assistants or instructional aides.

What are some typical challenges a class assistant may face when supporting multiple students with varying needs?

Class Assistants often work with students who have diverse learning styles and needs, which can make it challenging to provide effective support to everyone simultaneously. Balancing individualized attention while helping the teacher manage classroom activities requires strong multitasking skills and adaptability. Collaborating closely with the lead teacher and maintaining clear communication ensures that each student receives the appropriate level of assistance. Over time, Class Assistants develop strategies to prioritize tasks and address student needs efficiently, which is essential for their success and professional growth.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a class assistant, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Class Assistant, you need a basic understanding of educational principles, classroom management, and often a high school diploma or equivalent. Familiarity with tools like learning management systems (LMS), office software, and, in some cases, child safety or first aid certification is beneficial. Effective communication, patience, and teamwork are essential soft skills for supporting both teachers and students. These skills ensure a positive and productive classroom environment, helping facilitate learning and maintain order.

$34.18 - $45.40/hr

Full-time

Posted 6 days ago

Job description

Assistant Shift Engineer (3rd/4th Class)

Location: Toronto, ON (Simcoe Steam Energy Centre)
Type: Full-Time | Union Position (Unifor)


Intro Paragraph

Are you a Power Engineer who enjoys working with complex plant equipment, solving operational challenges, and keeping critical infrastructure running safely and efficiently? This role is for someone who thrives in a hands-on environment and takes pride in maintaining reliable energy systems.

At Enwave, you'll help power one of North America's largest district energy systems while contributing to innovative energy solutions that support decarbonization and sustainable communities.


As an Assistant Shift Engineer, you'll support the safe and efficient operation of chillers, steam turbine generators, pumping systems, heat exchangers, and Enwave's Deep Lake Water Cooling (DLWC) infrastructure in a rotating shift environment.


What you'll do

You'll play a key role in the day-to-day operation of district energy plant systems, monitoring equipment performance, responding to alarms, conducting plant rounds, and supporting startup, shutdown, inspection, and maintenance activities. You'll help ensure reliable operation of chillers, steam turbine generators, pumping systems, heat exchangers, and cooling infrastructure while maintaining accurate operational records and documentation.

Working closely with plant operations and maintenance teams, you'll assist with troubleshooting abnormal operating conditions, optimizing system performance, and supporting commissioning and maintenance programs. You'll also contribute to the operation of Enwave's Deep Lake Water Cooling system, water intake infrastructure, and automated control systems.

Safety is central to this role. You'll operate in compliance with TSSA regulations, follow lockout/tagout and site safety procedures, participate in continuous improvement initiatives, and help maintain a safe and reliable operating environment.


What we're looking for


  • Experience operating equipment in an industrial plant environment such as district energy, refrigeration, power generation, or process facilities
  • Strong troubleshooting, problem-solving, and operational decision-making skills.
  • Ability to work independently and maintain high attention to detail in a plant environment
  • Ability to work a rotating continental shift schedule including days, nights, weekends, and statutory holidays
  • Knowledge of safety regulations, operating procedures, and compliance requirements within a regulated environment
  • Experience with large centrifugal chillers, steam turbine generators, plate heat exchangers, VFDs, BAS/SCADA systems, or industrial control systems is considered an asset
  • Exposure to DLWC systems, water intake infrastructure, CMMS platforms, or refrigerant handling certification is an asset.


Why Enwave

Enwave is a leading sustainable energy services provider helping communities reduce emissions and build a lower-carbon future. Our teams operate critical infrastructure, embrace innovation, and work together to deliver reliable energy solutions across Canada.

You'll join a collaborative environment where safety comes first, learning never stops, and your work has a direct impact on the communities we serve. If you're looking for a role where you can keep essential systems running while helping shape the future of sustainable energy, this might be your next shift in the right direction.


Compensation

The expected base salary range for this role is CAD $ 34.18/hr- $45.40/hr , based on experience, skills, and alignment with the role.


Accessibility

Enwave Energy Corporation is committed to fair and accessible employment practices and will accommodate applicants with disabilities during the recruitment process.
