We employ and train Sponsored Reserves and HGV Mechanics for peacetime and operational duties. FTX Logistics Ltd (FTX) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Kellogg Brown & Root Ltd, part of the KBR worldwide group of companies. The company holds a contract to deliver the British Army & Heavy Equipment Transportation Service. FTX employs 85 Sponsored Reservists (SRs) to operate and maintain the service
and therefore employ both Drivers and Maintainers (HGV mechanics). The company is also responsible for training the regular Army to use the HET trucks. There are two elements to our Non-Operational Service: Both vehicles & SRs have to stay ready to deploy and we maintain peacetime tasks (i.e. meeting the MoD’s equipment transportation requirements). During Operational Service the MoD may call up HET Vehicles and sufficient SRs to man one-third of the vehicles for war fighting or peace-keeping missions. SRs then become subject to military discipline and work alongside Army regulars. Also during operations, the company supplies vehicle spares as required. As well as delivering training for the HET, our Instructors are qualified to deliver a range of training for commercial companies. Being employed at FTX Logistics can provide a varied and exciting job and we recruit a number of times every year. We accept and respond to application forms all year round. Previous Military experience is an advantage, however, applications are welcome from interested people who meet our requirements. Training will be given and elements of the Military training are tailored to take account of previous experience. For detailed job descriptions, visit our main website www.ftxlog.com
