Charting a New Course: Navigating success beyond the Military

Off By Ed Hanna

Are you from a Military background, or currently Serving in the Military? Are you looking for an opportunity to join a stable company that is committed to working alongside the Armed Forces and their families? We can make that happen.

We recognise the value of the wide range of transferable skills possessed by those who are currently Serving, as well as Veterans, and we can find the perfect pathway to suit you. As a Forces-friendly organisation, you will work alongside other ex-Service personnel.

The foundation of SOCOTEC UK is that we are a network of industry leading experts, dedicated to delivering world class services to our customers. With over 2,000 team members, we provide an unrivalled range of testing, inspection, and certification services.

Across five main business divisions, our expertise extends extensively. We offer our services within infrastructure, building and real estate, environment and safety, environmental science, and advisory. Within every division is an assortment of business units specialising in different disciplines. From performing geotechnical inspections on potential building sites before construction, through to monitoring current buildings ensuring long lasting structural stability, we support clients at every stage of the asset lifecycle.

Pride
Nurturing the talent of our people is something we take pride in. Our aim is to support your development both personally and professionally in every step of your journey with us. One way in which we do this is through our commitment to enhancing our employees’ skill sets. Whether you are looking for training to refine your skills, aiming to become an expert in your field, or are interested in progressing within the organisation to do something different, we have a range of courses and apprenticeships to help you.

Knowledge expansion and skill enhancement are the core of the SOCOTEC Academy. We currently offer 23 different apprenticeships across our divisions, as well as over 50 training courses; each with varying lengths to suit the individual. For example, we have soft skills training courses lasting just one day, through to technical apprenticeships that are up to 66 months long. Your opportunities are endless, and we can support any employee regardless of age or seniority – there’s always room to grow. #YouGrowWeGrow
