Career Profiles
RAF Engineering graduates will progress on to be Engineer Officers or Logistics Officers.
As an Engineer Officer you’ll receive excellent training and have the opportunity to work with state-of-the-art technology. You can specialise in either Aerosystems or Communications/Electronics.
Aerosystems deals with the RAF’s cutting edge – its aircraft and missiles. As an Engineer Officer (AS) you’ll deal with the weapons, avionics and propulsion systems of all kinds of aircraft, their airborne communications and the ground support that goes with them. Early in your career, you could find yourself responsible for keeping a squadron of aircraft serviceable and ready to fly.
Engineer Officers (CE) are responsible for maintaining, and sometimes operating, every form of communications link – tasks that are vital to the effectiveness of air operations. You could find yourself supervising the maintenance of ground radar systems, or looking after the complex ground-based communications networks of the UK’s air defence system. You’ll also have a role to play in networking all our information systems to make sure up-to-the-minute information is always available to our decision makers.
As a Logistics Officer, you’ll be responsible for providing all the logistics support that’s necessary to keep our aircraft flying. Leading a team of airmen/women, you’ll manage the supply chain from beginning to end, including the purchasing and storage of equipment, the use of complex IT management systems and the distribution of equipment by land, sea and air on a global scale. You’ll also deliver catering and hospitality services to RAF personnel both in the UK and overseas.
