Take on one of the Army’s most varied jobs. Build up experience, take qualifications and choose from a range of career paths.If you want a varied job, Construction Materials Technician (CMT) is a good choice. You could be out in the field, carrying out combat engineering. Or you could work in a specialist materials testing unit – a laboratory – being sent on operations at short notice. You might inspect airfields across the world through ground investigations or work in quality control, making sure that roads are built as they should be. With this experience, plus the chance to take qualifications, you can build a great CV and an exciting future. Sports and Adventurous Training mean there are lots of challenges off duty, too.
Construction Material Technician is a Specialist role in the Royal Engineers. All the Royal Engineer soldier job roles are divided into 5 groups. When you apply to the Engineers, you will apply to the trade group rather than the specific trade. More about types of roles in the Royal Engineers.
The Corps of Royal Engineers allows the Army to work all over the world, whether it's involved in active combat or disaster relief. The Corps are ‘first in’, setting up bases ready for the rest of the Army to arrive and ‘last out’, closing down patrol bases and military camps. The Corps is at the forefront in disaster-relief operations, effecting rapid repairs to damaged infrastructure in stricken areas.Training:Step 1
Your initial military training teaches you how to be a soldier, covering everything from fieldcraft to how to handle a rifle. If you join as a Junior Soldier (under 17 years 5 months), you’ll do a 23-week basic military training course at Harrogate. If you join as a Regular Soldier (over 17 years 1 month), you’ll do the regular 14-week adult basic training.
Step 2
Then it’s off to the Royal School of Military Engineering Regiment near Camberley, Surrey, for nine weeks. Here, you learn military engineering skills, such as knots and lashings, demolition, mine warfare and bridge building. Finally, you go the Royal School of Military Engineering in Chatham, Kent, for 20 weeks. You'll learn how to carry out ground and site investigations, and test soils, concrete and other construction materials in a laboratory.
Qualifications you could get after training:
Car and HGV driving licence
Level 3 and Level 5 Diploma in Construction Materials Technology
Training Outcome:
If you show the right commitment, skills and academic ability, you could become a Commissioned Officer. Members of the British Army are promoted on merit. Work hard, study hard, and you can rise through the ranks.
Employer Description:Protecting the nation and its dependent territories will always be the British Army's first role. Highly trained soldiers are ready to deploy anywhere at any time to meet a variety of challenges, ranging from support to the Police following a terrorist attack, to specialist capabilities such as bomb disposal and intelligence experts, 24 hours a day 365 days a year, we are always ready to serve.
