From Royal Navy Petty Officer to Project Engineer: A Smooth Transition into Civilian Employment
“My experience with Demob Job started with Adrian, the company's MD, contacting me on LinkedIn. After sending my CV I was quickly contacted by Joanne with a suggested role I could be well suited for. Joanne explained the role and informed me of the company and what they do. After expressing my interest, I was invited for an interview the following week and offered the job the week after. Overall, it was a smooth and rapid process. I received regular contact from Joanne by email to complete all the relevant paperwork and documentation, and also by phone with sound advice, words of wisdom, encouragement and reassurance. Joanne made the transition from military to civilian employment easy with no fuss or stress. I will be recommending Demob Job to my former military friends and colleagues.” Dean was a Petty Officer Marine Engineering Technician in the Royal Navy and is now employed as a Project Engineer.
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.
Clint (ex Royal Air Force Chef)
After recently completing my diploma in plumbing and heating, I had spent many months trying to find the right job opportunity. I had spent 20 years in catering within the RAF and offshore oil and gas, and have been seeking a career change, when Adrian from Demob Job contacted me about an opportunity with a respectable company which included great training and career prospects. Adrian was excellent in explaining the job role to me, identifying all my transferable skills that would make me a good fit for the role, and after putting me forward, managed to secure an interview for me. I am sure that had I applied direct to the company I would not have heard back. After completing the interview, and a small skills test, I managed to secure the role and am awaiting to start the training course. Cannot recommend Adrian and Demob Job enough. Highly professional in every stage of the process.
REME Vehicle Technician secure new career as Engineering Surveyor
"I first contacted Demob Job after seeing their Instagram page and was immediately impressed with their professionalism and positive attitude towards finding me employment. It was clear from the outset that they had a lot of connections in the Engineering industry and were keen to get to know me. They reassured me about the process which in turn took a lot of pressure off me while I was conducting my resettlement phase. Having then spoken with Kelly Chandler, she quickly gained an in-depth understanding of what skills and experience I had and began to match me with potential employers the next day. When a job was identified as a good fit for me, Kelly explained the job specifications to me clearly to make sure I understood everything. Exactly one week after first contacting Demob Job, I had an interview, and a job offer which I accepted. Kelly and the team were fantastic, and I couldn’t recommend them enough. I am now an Engineering Surveyor with a great company in South Yorkshire”.

She filtered jobs for me that were within my preferred commutable area, working routines, and the salary range I was looking for. I was matched with a job that best suited everything that I was looking for. Kelly kept me well-informed throughout the selection and interview process. She even phoned me the Friday before I was due to start my new job to wish me good luck. I would not hesitate to recommend Demob Job to any member of the Armed Forces looking to take their next step”. Nathan is now employed as an Electrical Maintenance Engineer in Manchester.
