From 1740 Bastide was chief engineer at Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia, with responsibility for New England. In 1745 he helped in the siege and capture of Louisbourg; in 1756 he was Director of Engineers at Minorca when the French captured Fort St Philip during the Seven Years' War; in 1758 he returned to Louisbourg, taking charge of the fort's demolition after its capture; and in 1762 he helped construct Halifax Citadel and the defences to Halifax Harbour.
