Ex-Military Jobs
We have a proud and longstanding history of supporting serving personnel, Reservists, veterans, cadets and their families in assisting with ex military jobs.
Why choose SOCOTEC?
As a forces-friendly organisation, we recognise that many of the skills that ex-forces personnel possess are highly sought after, while also aligning directly with our own core visions and values. In light of this, we are committed to investing in these skills in order to maximise employee potential, while ensuring that employees feel fully supported as they make the transition from the Armed Forces to life with us.
Life with us after leaving the military
Testimonials from some of our ex-military employees
Danny Coomber, director, Consultants
“In my current role, I direct multi-discipline consultancy services and class myself as a ‘can do’ individual – an attitude that I have certainly adopted thanks to my time within the military.”
Linda Matthews, learning and development manager, Central Services
“During my time in the navy, I became used to placing my trust in the people that I worked with. This has transferred into my current working life, as I am able to ensure that the colleagues I am supporting have the knowledge to get things done on time."
Dan Coen, managing director, Infrastructure
“Both the Armed Forces and infrastructure sectors are full of talented, hardworking individuals who are driven and passionate about what they do. One of the most enjoyable aspects of my role is the privilege of working alongside these people."
Philip Walker, operations manager, Energy and Oils, Environmental Science
“The ability to deal with multiple issues in a highly pressured environment prepares you for pretty much any operational position, and the Armed Forces was fantastic at providing me with the training and resilience to carry out my current role."
Matthew Thomas, senior technician, Water Treatment & Equipment
“A career within the water industry proved particularly appealing to me, as much like the military, the work involved requires a technically minded approach, in addition to the fact that no two days are the same.”
We have signed the Armed Forces Covenant
Since signing the Armed Forces Covenant in 2020, we have demonstrated its commitment to ensuring that military veterans are treated with respect and fairness across all aspects of their lives. The Covenant highlights the moral obligation that the UK Government and society owes to the Armed Forces, and we are proud to be a part of this promise and support with the provision of ex-military jobs.

We are committed to supporting ex-military recruitment through the Careers Transition Partnership, a resettlement service which supports veterans of all ages and establishes a tailored employment pathway for those leaving the military in the UK.
