Brilliant thank you! I know it's different for everyone, but what could I expect in day to day life as a professional engineering officer? And what kind of deployments are common? Thank you!

Charlotte, every day is different, you will be commanding technically minded individuals who are responsible for maintaining and repairing multi-million pound equipment. The next day you could be on exercise conducting you role in the field, the next you could be skiing in France its such a varied working environment.

Thank you so much for your help. How often do people tend to get deployed in this role? Also is it common to get deployed to war zones or is it more to assist with engineering projects? I know it's very difficult to say but I really appreciate any help you can give me.

Charlotte,
Sorry for the late reply, so as for deploying as an engineering officer and the REME as a hole we support the complete British Army so it would mean deploying if the unit you are supporting deploy but in this current climate deployments are few and far between but if you are deployed its within the support side of life not combat. hope this helps.
