Supportive, Professional, Personal: My Journey from RAF to Engineer Surveyor with Demob Job

“It has been an absolute pleasure working with Kelly Chandler and Demob Job. From the very start she has been extremely helpful, consistently checking up to make sure I had everything I needed at each stage of the process. I would recommend Demob Job to anyone due to their warm and welcoming nature, I can’t thank Kelly enough for what she has done for me.” Josh served in the Royal Air Force as a Ground Support Technician and is now an Engineer Surveyor in London.

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.

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.

Jake (served in the Royal Navy as a Leading Hand Weapons Engineer)

“I was searching for a new role and was contacted by Kelly Chandler at Demob Job after I applied for a job advertised. She was extremely helpful throughout the whole process and made me feel reassured by something relatively new to me. After I had accepted the role, we kept in touch as she continually checked up to see how things were progressing with the company.  Kelly’s support in securing a new job made the whole situation a lot easier”.  Jake is now an Assistant Project Manager in Hampshire.

Nathan (ex-Royal Navy Marine Engineer)

“After having served 8 years in the Royal Navy as a Marine Engineer and on starting my transition to Civvy Street I was contacted by Demob Job to help me find my new career. Kelly Chandler was my point of contact throughout, and she was brilliant from start to finish. She noted all my previous skills and experience and used them to match me against jobs that were in my preferred field. She filtered jobs for me that were within my preferred commutable area, working routines, and the salary range I was looking for. I was paired with a job that 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 work 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 career step”.  Nathan is now employed as an Electrical Maintenance Engineer in Manchester.

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”.

Thomas (ex Royal Air Force Avionics Technician)

Having gone through a long and difficult process Joanne was with me every step of the way and was excellent in guiding me through the many obstacles. Joanne showed excellent knowledge in the field I was seeking employment in and was crucial in my preparation for the interviews for the role. Joanne was very attentive and always on the other end of the phone to help when I had questions.  Could not recommend demob job and Joanne enough and if I ever look to seek different employment in the future, they will be my first contact.  Thomas is now a Field Service Engineer in Bristol.
