A silver metal and epoxied shield shaped device 1-1/8 inch in height blazoned as follows: Gules, a tower Argent (Silver), charged with two poleaxes saltirewise Sable, surmounted by a fireball of the like flamant of the first, on a canton Azure a fleur-de-lis Or.  Attached below, a scroll Sable doubled and inscribed "SAPPERS LEAD" Argent (Silver).

Scarlet and white are the branch colors of the Engineer Corps.  The castle tower, a symbol of fortification and strength, is reminiscent of the Engineer Corps Branch insignia.  The poleaxes symbolize the unit's mission of combat readiness and construction of bridges and forts.  The fireball characterizes the military engineer's mission to handle explosives and mines.  The four flames, pointing to the major geographical directions, emphasize the capacity of the Engineers to mobilize quickly, if needed, to all points of the globe.  The blue canton with the fleur-de-lis commemorates World War I and World War II service in Northern Europe and France.  

The distinctive unit insignia was approved effective 1 July 1986.  The insignia was amended to modify the design and symbolism on 11 August 2023.
