Maintains and repairs all of the Army's electronic systems.

Most tanks and self-propelled guns use electronic sighting systems while guided weapons are entirely dependent on electronics.

The Army also relies on communications gear and information systems. That's a whole lot of electronics the Army uses, and making sure it's all working is the REME Electronic Technician.

You will need to stay on top of the latest technology, so it's likely you'll eventually specialise in a specific area such as telecommunications or armoured systems.

You'll finish your trade training as Lance Corporal and after six months as a Class 3 if you've proved you're up to it, you'll be promoted to Class 2, and get a pay rise.
