What do you like about your job and the company?
In my current position, I love supporting Headquarters, as this allows me to use my skills and knowledge that I have built up after a few years in this job. This also gives me the opportunity to help teach newer soldiers on our process and procedures, as well as different types of kit we might use. With the Corps Engagement Team, I like how independent the team is, and how well we help plan and run different events.
Greatest achievements
In 2022, I was given the opportunity to represent my Regiment, Corps and the Army on the international sports stage. I was part of the flag team during the medal ceremonies at Alexander Stadium, I am immensely proud of this as it was my first time away from my home unit, and it allowed me to develop into a better soldier, being able to work in a small team of people I had only just met.

When I decided to join the Army. I was a fully qualified Fabricator / Welder. I decided to join the Royal Engineers as this trade. Because I was already qualified, I was able to fast track a large majority of my trade training. With this I was not only able to get to my first unit quicker but I also got a financial bonus. In my career I have held two fabricator / welder related posts, so have had the opportunity to remain current and competent in my trade.

I left school with decent grades, and was a CNC Programmer before i joined the Army at 25. I could of carried on down the engineering side of things in the Army, but that isn't what I wanted to do. I wanted to join the Royal Artillery and work with the firepower that it offers. If you join the Army in a job role that you don't like or enjoy you will hate it and want to do something else. There are 200 jobs in the Army meaning there is something out there for you. You just need to apply yourself.
