The job
Drivers are specifically employed to provide the RAF with a professional driver capability. You will be required to drive, operate and administer the RAF’s fleet of ground vehicles. This fleet ranges from light motor vehicles to minibuses, large goods vehicles, passenger carrying vehicles, ambulances and specialist airfield support equipment such as refuellers, aircraft tractors and mobile cranes. These vehicles, along with the Drivers, play an important role in the operational effectiveness of the RAF, ensuring that people and equipment are available in the right place, at the right time. As a Driver, you’ll often be required to operate independently, away from your unit, so you’ll need initiative and self-confidence.
