I will be moving to the AltaGracia region with my wife in September. I am releasing from the Canadian Army as a Combat Engineer Sgt. Does anyone know of any work for such a skill set. I've been coming here for 17 years and am now ready to make a move. I have zero expectations to find work, but if something were to come up i.e. managing a security company that provides services to the resorts in the area. Anyway, if anyone has any advice or contacts that would be great.
Feel free to PM.
Cheers
There are a number of Canadian mining companies in the DR that may have uses of your unique talents. For those that don't know: Combat Engineers have the following primary duties:
• Construct and maintain roads, airfields, heliports, bridges, causeways, rafts, permanent and temporary buildings;
• Construct field defences and obstacles;
• Provide drinking water by testing, purifying and filtering local supplies and by constructing local distribution systems;
• Detect and dispose of mines, booby traps and bulk explosives;
• Deny mobility to the enemy on the battlefield by demolishing roads and bridges, and laying minefields and booby traps;
• Maintain and operate engineering equipment, including weapons, vehicles, heavy equipment and supplies;
• Provide engineer communications on the battlefield; and
• When necessary, fight as infantry (includes use of personal weapons, reconnaissance and section-level tactics).
