Defence force engineering - Engineering Officer NZ Defence Force Employee Review

They offer a lot of opportunities for upskilling and have a decent community aspect. Lots of opportunities for sports involvement and deployments (depending on trade).

Pay is insufficient and the benefits usually associated with work in the military are few and far between. A depleted workforce also means that you carry the work of several for the same poor pay.

Learning about a different culture is nice.

If you’re not white, from New Zealand, active or former military, emotionally co dependent on your colleagues- this isn’t the place for you. & Please don’t be black and smart at the same time.
