View answerCivilian employees are employed by the Department of Defence to support the operational capabilities of the Defence Forces.
My Department recently undertook an open competition in July 2021 to recruit twelve electricians across eleven different locations. A previous recruitment campaign to recruit carpenters & plumbers took place in 2019.
The recruitment of civilian employees for military installations is an ongoing process, informed by prioritisation of posts by military management, and no further recruitment campaigns for electricians, plumbers or carpenters are anticipated for 2021.
