Top tips from our veterans
"When leaving the forces, you probably still have 20-30 years of working ahead of you. This is your second career, and you can go places with the skills you’ve got!"
Al – Group Director of HSSE (Health Safety Security and Environment)
Former SAS (WO1) RSM
"Be patient, it won’t necessarily be straightforward, and like me, you may try a few things before you find the right thing for you. Make the most of the development opportunities as I managed to fill some gaps in my knowledge before leaving."
Chris – Field Service Engineer
Former REME Vehicle Mechanic
"Your career after the forces won’t be a linear path – you’re unlikely to stay in the first role after the forces. Being in the military, you are comfortable with uncertainty, used to managing chaos and have a flexible mindset but with a solid plan in place. Take the lead and step into gaps where you see them, and you’ll be recognised."
Matt – MD of Africa, Middle East and Asia
Former Marine
"Make the most of the CTP (Careers Transition Partnership) when you’re preparing to leave. They were really good and helped me to build a proper CV, and I know lots of people who have done some great courses too."
Ross – Service Centre Manager
Former Navy Marine Engineer
"Aggreko is a great place for veterans, you have so many skills that we need. Your training and adaptability will serve you well here."
Neil – Operations Manager
Former RAF Ground Support Equipment Engineer
"You’ll find you need to adapt to a different way of working and sometimes work mentality – don’t be afraid to challenge and improve processes and ways of working."
Dermott – Workshop Engineer
Former REME Vehicle Mechanic
