From the Military to Mine Action

Off By Ed Hanna

Unexploded devices that injure civilians in conflict and post-conflict zones are a barrier to a country’s regenerative future. Collectively, they pose a daily threat to civilian safety as well as severely impeding economic development.

There are over 110 million laid and active landmines globally, excluding the further millions of tonnes of unexploded ordnance (UXO) and explosive remnants of war (ERW).

TDI was established in 2005 to provide extensive project management support to both governmental and non-governmental organisations, providing landmine clearance, UXO disposal, mine risk education (MRE), improvised explosive device disposal (IEDD) and search training. Additionally, TDI provides fleet maintenance and dog services. TDI regularly recruits project managers, IEDD trainers and mentors, as well as medical personnel for our various projects across locations in Africa and the Middle East.

Transition
TDI aims to make the unnerving transition from the Military to the mine action industry a success for all who join us. All TDI staff are given the trust and responsibility to contribute to making the world a safer place for the millions of people affected daily by landmines and UXO. If you are contemplating what to do next, consider joining TDI.

There are career options outside of the Military and TDI provides the tools for you to branch into something new.
