COULD YOU LOAD VITAL CARGO ON AND OFF MILITARY VESSELS AND OTHER SHIPS?
AS PORT OPERATORS, IT'S OUR JOB TO LOAD AND UNLOAD ESSENTIAL SUPPLIERS FROM OUR SHIPS, SAFELY, QUICKLY AND EFFICIENTLY.
We use specialist machinery, such as cranes and drive different types of vehicles in order to carry out our operations. Working alongside the Royal Marines and Airborne Forces means that we get plenty of opportunities to travel, working in ports worldwide and helping to support operations and disaster relief tasks. We also have opportunities to complete an apprenticeship and gain widely-recognised trade qualifications.
We also have a Regimental Dive Team and have a proud history competing in Army Sports.

You start by learning to be a soldier with your Reserve unit. Training lasts at least 23 days and teaches you how to handle weapons and survive outside.
Step 2
Then it’s onto a 2 week course where you’re trained to be a Port Operator. Later, you can get your Cat C driving licence. We’ll do our best to make sure training fits around your day job.

HGV licence (Cat C+E)
