At Phenna Group, we recognise the exceptional qualities that those who serve bring to every mission. The leadership, integrity, and determination developed through military life are precisely the qualities that enable our people to succeed globally.
As a global organisation, we proudly welcome veterans, reservists, and military family members from all countries and services. Whether you're transitioning to civilian life, managing reserve commitments, or supporting a service partner, you'll find a community at Phenna Group that values your contribution and supports your next chapter.
Alongside our main investors, Oakley Capital, we are proud supporters of the Royal Anglian Regiment Charity, reflecting our long-standing commitment to the Armed Forces community while continuing to build opportunities globally.
In the UK, we are proud signatories of the Armed Forces Covenant and partners of BuildForce, reaffirming our ongoing commitment to supporting those who have served.
Our Commitment to the Armed Forces Community
We are not just supporters of the Armed Forces; we are active partners in building meaningful careers globally.
- Veteran Friendly Recruitment - We recognise the value of military training and experience. Our recruitment process is designed to understand and translate your transferable skills into impactful roles in the civilian sector. We welcome applications from all ranks, trades, and specialisms across our technical, operational, and management teams, wherever you are based.
- Flexible and Remote Working - We understand that life in the military community often involves change and mobility. That’s why we offer flexible working options and remote roles across our global network, helping military spouses and partners balance work, family, and service commitments.
- Support for Reservists - We are proud to employ reservists and provide the flexibility they need for training, mobilisation, and deployment. Our managers are trained to support the unique needs of reservists and ensure their service is recognised and respected.
- Mentoring and Peer Networks - Through our BuildForce partnership in the UK and other regional initiatives, veterans and service leavers can connect with mentors who understand the transition process and can offer guidance on building successful careers in the Testing, Inspection, Certification, and Compliance (TICC) sector. Across our international businesses, you'll find a growing community of ex-service professionals supporting each other's development.
- Recognition and Progress - In the UK, we are proud holders of the Bronze Award in the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme and are working towards achieving the Silver Award. Across our global operations, we continue to build partnerships with veteran organisations, attend military transition events, and engage with networks that promote career opportunities for those leaving service.
