Your Role

As a Civil Engineer in the Army Reserve you’ll get to use your existing qualifications in exciting new ways, applying your specialist skills to dynamic military environments.

In this role, you will plan, design, coordinate, control and deliver a range of infrastructure engineering projects. This will involve providing force engineering capabilities to protect, project and sustain Joint Forces on military exercise, as well as in permissive and non-permissive operational environments.

As a part-time Civil Engineer, your primary place of work will be in one of the Australian Army's engineering units located throughout Australia. However there is the option to deploy in the field environment, regionally or overseas, if you choose.

This is a great opportunity to challenge yourself and work in exciting recent environments, without compromising your current career goals.

Plus, by working within a multi-disciplinary team you’ll get the chance to further your knowledge in new areas, and gain skills and experiences you can take back to your full-time role.

Life in the Army Reserve

Thousands of men and women enjoy part-time roles with the Army Reserve, operating alongside full-time Army personnel. The only difference is that your commitment is flexible.

Initial training length will vary based on your chosen role, after which you will normally be expected to serve between 20 and 100 days a year. This could involve an evening each week and one weekend a month,



and even extended periods away.

We do our best to make sure this fits in with your work and family commitments; and deployments are voluntary so if you choose to stay local, there are plenty of ways to make a difference closer to home. And with no minimum period of service, you can leave the Army Reserve whenever you like.

Boost Your Income The pay you receive in the Army Reserve goes straight into your pocket with no deductions for tax, and it increases as you gain seniority and experience.

On completion of your initial military and employment training, you could earn at least $283/day tax-free.

Additional amounts are paid for time spent on exercises and deployments.

Eligibility For this role, you must have a Bachelor degree in Civil Engineer or a related discipline. You must also have had training in a branch of engineering with the practical experience required for graduate membership of the Institution of Engineers Australia (IEAust), or another chartered institution of similar status.

You must be an Australian citizen and able to successfully obtain a security clearance. If you are not an Australian Citizen you may still be eligible to join the ADF if you meet certain criteria, please visit the ADF Careers Eligibility Page for more details.
