Job description

Want to get paid to learn a trade for life? You Belong Here.

As a full-time soldier in an entry-level Plumber role, you’ll:

1. Study plumbing and pipe fittings
2. Learn to install and maintain heating systems, including plumbing and pipework
3. Learn how to make heat-loss calculations
4. Become proficient in basic technical drawings

Heating and plumbing are essential to the Army. Every building, from bases in Europe to hospitals in the UK to temporary camps in Africa, needs to be warm and plumbed. As a plumber, we’ll train you to look after these systems at sites across the world and help you gain qualifications for a successful career within and beyond the Army. You’ll still be a soldier, undergoing basic training and maintaining a good standard of fitness.

Set yourself up for life.

During your initial training, you’ll earn £18,687, increasing to £23,496 afterward.

You’ll also receive 30 days' annual leave (plus bank holidays and extra leave after operations), free medical and dental care, cheaper living costs, and free gym and sports facilities. Typically, you'll work from 8:30 am to 5 pm, Monday to Friday, unless you're away on operations or training exercises.

From day one, you'll gain transferable skills and qualifications that can set you up for life. No prior experience is necessary; we will provide all the entry-level training you need and pay you to learn.

You’ll have opportunities to travel the world, participate in adventurous training, and enjoy sports activities.
