Your role:

As a Combat Engineer, you are the problem-solver of obstacles that arise in the battlefield and taught a broad range of skills to allow military forces to move, live and fight.

You’ll learn how to assist the army in remaining mobile and agile through the building of bridges, searching and destroying explosive devices, constructing field defences and wire obstacles, and constructing temporary airfields.

This role is a great alternative to civilian construction work and is an action-packed job where mateship and camaraderie take on a whole new meaning. Better still, you’ll be working for a dynamic organisation that offers a great lifestyle plus opportunities and experiences you simply won’t find anywhere else.

Location:

On completion of your initial military training and initial employment training, you could earn $77,451 per annum plus generous super.
