A day as a Rescue Technician with Capital Technical Rescue(CTR) is a mix of technical skill, safety leadership, and hands‑on work in dynamic industrial environments. Our teams provide professional standby rescue coverage for confined space entry, high‑angle operations, and specialized industrial work—ensuring crews can complete their jobs safely with a trained rescue team ready at all times.
Starting the Day: Prep, Briefings & Travel
Each shift begins with an assignment from CTR HQ. You bump test the atmospheric monitors at the shop and then load the rescue truck with the required gear for the day—tripods, ventilation equipment, atmospheric monitors, rope kits, PPE, and your CTR‑issued iPad. Before leaving, you complete a walk‑around of the rescue vehicle to ensure it’s in safe operating condition.
Driving safely to the job site is part of the role, and our rescuers operate CTR vehicles professionally and responsibly at all times.
Arriving Onsite: Pre‑Planning & Coordination
Upon arrival, you check in with the client or site safety lead. They explain the day’s work, hazards, and entry plan. You then:

Strong computer skills matter here. Rescuers routinely use scanners and scanner apps, email attachments, digital forms, and take online client training modules. A good rescuer is as comfortable with documentation and compliance as with rigging or rope systems.

Professionalism and attention to detail are key—even at the end of a long shift.
