Construction Careers for Military Veterans & Reservists

Find out how your skills can help shape construction's future

That is why 24 veterans are already part of our team, and why we have achieved the Gold Award in the Armed Forces Covenant for our support of reservists and veterans.

We invest in veterans because we know veterans can help lead our business and our entire industry to a better future.
The discipline, teamwork and problem-solving skills learned in military service are extremely valuable in the construction industry and they are essential to what we are building at Reds10.

As we revolutionise how buildings are designed, manufactured and delivered, we need people who can adapt, lead and thrive under pressure. People like you, who understand that precision and attention to detail can be the difference between success and failure.

The employer’s perspective

“Reds10 is a strong supporter of Armed Forces personnel, both veterans and serving. It recognises the selfless commitment we make for our country and the skills and capability we bring to the business. We actively recruit veterans and strongly support anyone that wishes to serve as a Reservist.

“There’s a palpable sense of pride in those of our team that are Reservists. The personal skills they learn from their training is reflected in their approach and attitude to their work and lifts the whole team with them; they are becoming leaders and examples for others to emulate.”

Col Phil Cook (Retired) Defence Sector

The veteran’s perspective

“Joining Reds10 after serving in the Army for 25 years has been a rewarding transition. The military instilled in me discipline, teamwork and problem-solving skills, all of which seamlessly align with Reds10’s innovative approach to construction. The company’s focus on precision and efficiency mirrors the operational excellence I was accustomed to in the Army.

“Moreover, the supportive environment at Reds10 made me feel valued as a veteran, offering opportunities to grow and contribute meaningfully. It’s fulfilling to see how my military experience translates into building structures that serve communities to ensure service personnel live, learn and thrive in amazing spaces”.

Ryan Scholz, WO2 (Retired) Aftercare Lead

The Reservist’s perspective

“I feel that the main aspects of training, such as being on top of personal admin and making effective decisions at the correct time, have allowed me to see my role in Reds10 in a new light. My overall performance and confidence in the role has increased tenfold.

“The support from Reds10 has had a great impact on my life. Knowing that I am supported in having another commitment apart from Reds10 has greatly increased my mental health, meaning I am still able to enjoy my hobbies outside of my busy schedule”.

Henry, Reservist

Our partnerships

Reds10 supports the RBVE’s fundraising efforts and has welcomed “Britain’s Bravest Manufacturing Company” – one RBVE’s initiatives – directly into our supply chain.

Veterans' Foundation

Year on year, Reds10 takes on the D-Day Cycle Trip, alongside the Defence Infrastructure Organisation, to raise money for the Veteran’s Foundation as well as remembering those who have served for our nation as they visited battlefield sites across Normandy. The Foundation assist today’s veterans and their families by working with hundreds of smaller charities who share in their passion to provide a better life for armed forces family who are in need. The cyclists covered 100km a day across Northern France, the home to the D-Day Landings.

Helping Homeless Veterans

Reds10 has a long history of supporting homeless veterans. Part of this involved sponsoring two flats in Talbot Mews, providing not just accommodation but comprehensive support for homeless veterans. This sponsorship enabled residents to successfully transition into stable employment, including one veteran who moved from our sponsored accommodation into a role with Mercedes-AMG PATRONAS Formula 1.
