We are 101 (City of London) Engineer Regiment, the Army Reserve's only bomb disposal and search regiment. Train evenings and weekends, alongside your job. Paid from day one. No experience needed.
Explosive Ordnance Disposal. Train in the drills and science of bomb disposal, from wartime ordnance to improvised explosive devices.
Find what's hidden: buildings, vehicles, routes and open ground, using specialist equipment and search dogs.
Detect and operate in chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear environments. A capability few in the Army hold.
Weapons, fieldcraft, first aid and fitness. The soldiering skills every reservist masters first.
Bridges, demolitions, obstacles and field defences. The core trade of the Royal Engineers.
You'll train as a soldier and combat engineer first, then specialise. Adventurous training and sport are part of the job.
You'll need to meet these. Full checks happen later, this just saves you time.
That's the point of the Reserve. You train on evenings and weekends you commit to, around your job or studies. Many employers give extra paid leave for annual camp.
Yes. A daily rate for every day you train, from day one, plus an annual tax-free bounty for completing your training days. Travel is covered.
Nobody does when they walk in. Basic training first, then trade training. We teach you everything.
You train as a soldier and combat engineer first, then can specialise in EOD, Search or CBRN. We're the only Army Reserve regiment where this path exists.
Fit enough to pass a basic assessment, and we'll help you get there. Plenty of people join partly to get fit. We have in-unit physical training instructors (PTIs) to give you coaching and programmes.
Typically a weekly drill night, one weekend a month, and a two-week annual camp. We are very flexible with schedules and take into account families, work and the lives of our reservists.
