artificer (mechanic) Explanation: https://britisharmy.wordpress.com/tag/artificer/ https://bootcampmilitaryfitnessinstitute.com/2018/07/19/what... Asker: "Was just wondering if there is an actual British Army equivalent?" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2020-05-15 15:02:02 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armed-forces_artificer -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2020-05-15 16:17:25 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- On the basis of the supplementary information given in the Discussion Box ("The vehicle is an M3 amphibious rig), the obvious noun to choose is rigger. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2020-05-15 16:48:22 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Asker: I think I'll settle for a "rigging engineer" as the most transparent option. If the three-man crew are all members of the Corps of Royal Engineers https://www.army.mod.uk/who-we-are/corps-regiments-and-units... then they are all by definition 'engineers'. Rüstmann is being used her as a job description rather than a rank. This particular member of the crew is the designated rigger. |
