I'm interested in pursuing mechanical engineering but also want to do something with more action.
Hi,
I am a Royal Engineer and my trade is a Fabricator Welder. I've been fortunate enough to do a wide variety of engineering within my given trade. Speaking as a recruiter, you will do much more of your trade as a soldier within the REME. If you are interested in variety, from experience, you will get many opportunities to cover a wider scope of engineering as well as combat as a Royal Engineer. As a Royal Engineer, after soldiering, your next scope of works is a 'Combat Engineer'. A Combat Engineer specialises in Mine Warfare (clearance and laying), Demolitions, Watermanship (the operation of boats and improvised rafts), Water Supply (producing drinking water from a variety of sources), Basic Engineering Principles and much more.
Warm Regards,
SSgt Rob Needham
