Today being #ReservesDay, we caught up with Peter Coventry, one of our Engineer Surveyors who joined the Army Reserve seeking an additional sense of purpose and a new challenge during his spare time. As a Craftsman in the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, Peter is part of a diverse team providing engineering support to the Army. He's also able to apply his engineering knowledge and experience from 'civvie street', combined with learning a new trade, to maintain, repair and modify equipment.
Peter will shortly commence trade training as a Metalsmith, specialising in welding, sheet metalwork and blacksmithing to fabricate solutions to engineering problems. Longer term, he aspires to qualify as a Class 1 Metalsmith whilst working his way up through the ranks to become a Senior Non-Commissioned Officer.
