Everyone looks to the engineering technicians to keep the Royal Navy moving, but the engineering technicians look to you for crucial guidance. From ships to submarines, aircraft to electrical equipment, Engineering Officers can specialise in several areas, including marine engineering, weapons engineering, air engineering, or training management. Whatever your skill, you’ll be the one keeping us moving.
