Job Description

Apprentice Plumber

The Army - United Kingdom

From £26,334 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 be 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 £26,334. If you set your mind to it, you could reach Corporal within 5 years, earning £37,861.

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.
