Job Title: Gunner - Artillery Surveillance Observer

Location: United Kingdom
Corps: Royal Artillery
Employment Type: Regular (full-time)
Open to: Nigerians

Description

You spot enemy's units and artillery using radar and acoustic ranging systems.
Then we lock in on them, which may save many lives. Off duty, there’s an unbeatable Army lifestyle.
Picture this: your troops are coming under heavy fire. The enemy guns need to be destroyed. It's up to you to pinpoint their position using radar and acoustic detection equipment and tell your commander so Army artillery and missiles can take out the enemy guns.
This is a typical day for a Surveillance Observer. Whoever the enemy and whatever the weapon, you’ll help us stop them in their tracks.
It’s a job that can take you around the world. In time, you can specialise further by taking on Parachute selection, the Commando Course or the Patrols course.
These courses allow you to work alongside the Parachute Regiment and the Royal Marines, and become a Special Observer working in a team of six well ahead of friendly forces and sometimes behind enemy lines.
Life off-duty is just as exciting with mates, sports and Adventurous Training. On top of that, you can gain qualifications and build a great CV.
The Royal Artillery is the heart of the action - everywhere across the battlefield - providing the British Army with its eyes, ears and firepower.
Using high-tech surveillance devices and uncrewed aircraft, the Royal Artillery finds the enemy.
We then monitor them before striking decisively. We do this by co-ordinated use of our guns, rockets and missiles, the Army’s attack helicopters and other weapons, including fast jets and even the guns of Royal Navy ships.
