Ex‑Armed Forces at MTC
A place where experience continues to make an impact
Leaving the Armed Forces is not the end of a career. It’s the start of a new one.
At MTC, we are proud to support service leavers, veterans, reservists, and their families as they take that next step. We recognise the experience you bring, the standards you operate to, and the value you add from day one.
For us, this isn’t just about recruitment. It’s about creating an environment where people from the Armed Forces community can build meaningful, long-term careers and continue to make a difference.
Proud to support the Armed Forces Community
MTC has been awarded the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme Gold Award, recognising our commitment to supporting veterans, reservists, service leavers and military families. Discover how we're creating opportunities for Armed Forces talent to thrive in manufacturing, engineering and technology.
Building a future beyond service
Transitioning into civilian life can come with uncertainty but it also presents real opportunity. The skills developed in the Armed Forces, leadership, resilience, teamwork, problem-solving, are exactly what modern manufacturing needs. We help translate that experience into careers across advanced manufacturing and engineering.
We are proud signatories of the Armed Forces Covenant and hold Gold Award status through the Ministry of Defence Employer Recognition Scheme, reflecting our ongoing commitment to supporting the Armed Forces community. But more importantly, we focus on what that support looks like in practice, creating opportunities, building a strong internal community, and ensuring people feel part of something from day one.
