States Force (DE USF) and have > personal delegation for the project. I am responsible for many > aspects of a project including financial control, cost, tome and > quality
objectives and liaison with the USF project manager and the > principal support provider Hyder. > As a member of the Air Training Corps and studying a masters degree > in Civil
Engineering, I felt that the MOD and DESG was a great way > of combining my interest with the military as well as my career as a > civil engineer. My main two highlights from my career
to date are > firstly my three month placement to Cyprus involving property > management and my six month intensive course with the Royal > Engineers, where every aspect of civil
engineering was covered > including other engineering disciplines with an added military > slant. It was a great insight into the military world. > I hope to achieve chartered Civil
Engineer status. I know that the > MOD has a training agreement with the Institution of Civil Engineers > and the MOD will fund it all. Following that I would like up to the > top
management levels within the MOD. > The MOD provides excellent training opportunities to meet your > career needs, it also provides a great work life balance. You will > also have
the opportunity to travel all over the country and abroad > including places such as Germany, Cyprus and Gibraltar. UPDATES TO THIS PAGE Published 11 February 2013
