Apprentice Plumber

From £27,282 a year

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

· Study plumbing and pipe fittings

· Learn to install and maintain heating systems including plumbing and pipework

· Learn how to make heat-loss calculations

· 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 the systems at these sites across the world and pick up

qualifications that will set you up with a great career within and beyond the Army. You’ll still

be a soldier, and that means you’ll go through basic training and expected to maintain a

decent standard of fitness while you’re with us.

To qualify, you must be between 16 years 6 months and 35 years 6 months and pass a basic

fitness test.

Set yourself up for life.

During your initial training, you’ll earn £27,282. If you set your mind to it, you could reach

Corporal within 5 years, earning £40,989.

You’ll also receive 30 days’ annual leave every year (plus bank holidays and extra leave

after operations), free medical and dental care, cheaper living costs, and free gym and

sports facilities. And unless you're away on operations or training exercises, you'll normally

work 8.30am to 5pm, Monday to Friday.

From your very first day of training with us, you’ll be gaining transferrable skills and

qualifications that could set you up for life. You don’t need to know how to do the job before

you get here, because we’ll give you all the entry-level training you need and pay you to

learn.

Plus, you’ll get to travel the world, taking part in the Army’s adventurous training, and

spending dedicated time playing the sports you love.

Get skills, get qualified, get confident.

You Belong Here.
