What do you like about your job and the company?

I get to travel around the UK an see new places. One week i could be all the way up in northern Scotland delivering presentations and other engagement activities and the next week i could be at Wembley stadium engaging and talking with people to promote the Royal Engineer. Because of the nature of my current role i get to chat with potential and future soldier all around the country. I go to many major events like fairs and festivals that is being held and i have the chance to promote the Corp to all that is interested to know more.

Greatest achievements

Based on the work i did in Estonia on operations. I was running numerous troop training, organising battle group training for Bulldog drivers and commander courses. I was presented a BG Commanders coin in recognition for the work i produced.

The army is more than what is seen in dramatised film and television. It’s a group of had working individuals who have learnt to be a part of the army, learnt their strengths and weakness, learnt what kind of job and job role suits them best. There is so much opportunity it is impossible to write it all here but information about the army has never been so easily accessible. The wealth of insight that can be gleaned, to help you determine the right career path in the army, is massive and can help you decide. Even if that decision is not to join the army, you won’t know until you have a look.

Someone once told me to never give up on something I was passionate about, but to find a way of making it happen. No matter how long it takes or how many push backs you get, if you are passionate about something, aim to succeed.
