From Royal Navy Marine Engineer to Project Engineer: Jamie’s Defence Sector Success Story
“I had the pleasure of working with Joanne Foster during my recent job search, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her support. From start to finish, she was communicative, professional, and genuinely invested in helping me succeed. Her guidance and encouragement made the process smooth and stress-free, and I’m thrilled to have secured a new role with her help. I highly recommend Joanne to anyone looking for a dedicated and supportive recruitment professional”. Jamie served close to 10 years in the Royal Navy as a qualified Marine Engineer. He is now employed as a Project Engineer within a leading Defence company.
John (Previously served in the Royal Navy as an Engineer)
“Joanne was very helpful in finding me employment on upon transitioning from a 15-year career in the Royal Navy. Although at the time there were limited employers advertising roles that matched my skillset, Joanne managed to find hidden roles with local companies with whom she and Demob Job have close relationships with. Her hard work, perseverance and contacts within industry managed to secure me my ideal role. I'd also like to add that her support and mentoring during the process, helped enable my success in securing employment, during what can be a stressful process. I would definitely recommend Joanne and Demob Job to any service leaver”. John is now employed as a Project Engineer in the North East.
Justin (ex-Royal Air Force Mechanical Aircraft Technician)
I left the RAF and began the laborious and slightly soul destroying task of searching for a job appropriate to my skill set. I was in contact with an old colleague who linked me to the advertisement posted on Demob Job by Joanne. I carefully read the criteria requested and contacted Joanne who promptly arranged a chat with me via telephone the next day. Joanne advised me of what the job entailed and after a brief informal Q&A, proposed to put me forward for the role of Field Service Engineer at a Marine company. I was thrilled to hear back that the company were interested in speaking to me via web interview initially and I was coached on some salient points to assist me with techniques and common questions. That interview was completed and Joanne kept in touch between myself and the company for feedback. I was then contacted back by Kim as Joanne had a holiday but I was made aware of this well in advance and Kim became my contact. I was delighted to hear that I was invited to the company HQ on Friday for a face to face interview after being shortlisted. I was delighted to be contacted by Kim to give me the good news that I had been offered the job. Joanne and Kim have been amazing throughout and I cannot thank them enough. I would describe Joanne and Kim as dynamic, highly professional, very supportive and confidence inspiring. I would recommend Demob Job to any service leaver be it imminent or out of the services for some time. Field Service Engineer, Durham
Andrew (ex Royal Logistic Corps Driver Communications Specialist)
“My journey in finding employment, was not going well until I saw a job advert on Demob Job’s website. I applied and within a day I had a phone call from Adrian Cheesman talking to me about the job and its responsibilities. Adrian helped me at every step of the application process which led me to a face-to-face interview along with a driving assessment. I have now accepted a new job as a Tank Transporter Driver, and I am looking forward to starting in six weeks”. Andrew is now a Heavy Equipment Transporter (HET) Tank Transporter Driver.
Matthew (ex Royal Air Force Aircraft Technician)
This is the first time I have used Demob Job and I must say I'm very impressed. Joanne was very efficient in arranging an interview, highlighting my key skills and attributes to the employer. I successfully managed to capture the role I applied for and I look forward to my new career path. I would highly recommend Demob Job to anyone who is leaving the Armed Forces and is looking for a new and exciting role. Matthew is now employed as a Service Engineer within the Energy Sector.
From RAF Aircraft Fitter to Maintenance Technician: How Demob Job Found My Perfect Role
“I have done what I believe most service leavers do and saved my leave to have a few months off at the end of their career. I’d been at home making the most of the summer with my wife and kids but with the end of the summer holidays in sight I started to upload my cv to various websites. Almost immediately I was bombarded with calls from pushy recruiters telling me I’d be “perfect” for whatever job they had and would I like to apply but never hearing from them again, after a few weeks I was getting fed up with this. Then Kelly Chandler from Demob Job gave me a call. We had an actual conversation about what sort of employment and employer I was looking for, discussed the skills I had developed in the RAF and we ended the call with assurance she would find something suitable for me. I got a call back from Kelly a few days later about a position available in a company that met my specification. My CV was sent off, I went for an interview and got the job! Kelly was there to support and guide me through the whole process and I’m looking forward to starting my job on Monday. I can’t recommend Demob Job highly enough!” Gary completed a full career in the Royal Air Force as an Aircraft Fitter and is now employed as a Maintenance Technician in Merseyside.
