* Use CAD and bespoke software (e.g., StrikeRisk – full training included)
* Estimate and scope installation, remedial, and maintenance works
* Produce technical reports, schematics, and inspection documentation
* Collaborate with engineers, project managers, and clients to deliver solutions on time and on budget
* Travel to UK-wide client sites; lodging provided where needed, as there will be about 50% nationwide travel.
Why Veterans? My client values military skills such as:
* Mission planning & execution
* Adherence to technical standards and health & safety
* Working under pressure in varied environments
* Communication, reporting, and cross-functional teamwork
* Security clearance eligibility (MOD vetting required – must have 5 years UK residency)
What they are looking for:
* Formal engineering qualification or equivalent trade background
* 18th Edition qualified OR willing to train in BS EN 62305 (Lightning Protection Standards)
* Experience with electrical, force protection, or comms systems ideal
* Strong IT literacy – Excel, Outlook, design software

What You’ll Get:
* Structured training and ongoing development
* Clear progression into project management and specialist engineering

* Competitive salary of between £35 – 45k depending on skills and experience, as well as a benefits package which is currently under review that includes 22 days + BH
* Working Mon – Fri 8.30 to 5pm
If you’ve served in the Royal Engineers, REME, Signals, RAF Engineering, Royal Navy Engineering Branch or similar – this role could be your next step as they are happy to see candidates who have a minimum of 18th Edition qualification and a desire to develop and grow into this career, however your starting salary will be at the lower end of the bracket.
