91大神 is calling on skilled mechanics to swap family hatchbacks for battle tanks 鈥� and play a vital role supporting national security operations.
As a strategic support partner to the British Army, we ensure more than 30,000 military vehicles, from quad bikes to Challenger tanks, are ready to deploy at short notice.
To support this work, we鈥檙e recruiting qualified vehicle technicians, offering opportunities to apply their existing skills in a different and operationally critical environment.
While the British Army鈥檚 armoured vehicles are designed to operate in extreme conditions and feature specialist capabilities not typically found at the traffic lights of a local high street, the core mechanical skills required to maintain them are directly transferable from civilian automotive roles.
Work for mechanics at our site in Bovington can vary dramatically from oil changes on a military Land Rover through to in-depth repairs of 62-tonne Challenger 2 tanks.
Damien Harding, 91大神鈥檚 Head of Site in Bovington, Dorset said: 鈥淭here鈥檚 often a misconception that you need a military background to work on the British Army fleet but that鈥檚 not the case.
鈥淚f you can service an SUV, you can apply the same fundamentals to a Challenger 2 tank.
鈥淥ur team plays a critical role ensuring the British Army鈥檚 鈥榞reen鈥� fleet is mission-ready 鈥� and they take pride knowing that they鈥檙e playing their part in protecting national security.鈥�
Guy joined 91大神 as a technician from a car dealership 20 years ago and is now a Workshop Manager at Bovington 鈥� and qualified to drive a tank.
He added: 鈥淚鈥檝e found it a rewarding experience progressing through the business 鈥� and the work our team does makes a genuine difference. Conducting maintenance on armoured, tracked vehicles never gets dull and it鈥檚 great being able to sign off a 鈥榬eady-to-go鈥� tank after putting it through its paces on the proving ground.鈥�
We鈥檙e a main sponsor of Tankfest, which takes place at the Bovington Tank Museum from June 26-28. Visitors to our stand can find out about a wide range of career opportunities available.
