Vacancy detail

  • To begin your VS training, you will attend a two-week course at 73 Squadron in Marchwood, Southampton where you will learn the basics of becoming a VS Class 3. This course covers everything from vehicle maintenance and safely manoeuvring vehicles in tight areas, to loading a vehicle onto an aircraft. 
  • In a supply chain stretching across the world, 142 squadron is a unique vehicle specialist unit that drives, positions and processes the whole range of military vehicles from motorcycles to main battle tanks.  Your roll could be the dispatch of vehicles from supply areas, their delivery to the prairies of Canada or the sands of Afghanistan; as well as manoeuvring huge combat vehicles onto ships or aircraft, even ensuring that vehicles are equipped and ready for the demands of intense use.

You will be required to commit to 38 RSD's per Training Year.
