A legionary's job was first of all to follow orders. Besides marching and weapons training, a soldier had to care for his own equipment, cook his own food and pay for his own clothing. In addition, they were generally assigned to some building project, or some work that benefited the fort (if they were stationed in one) , such as running a water mill, making ceramic pipes for aqueducts, overseeing grain grinding and distribution and in many cases policing the town that usually grew up around a Roman fort. If he were literate and caught the attention of a superior, he could be assigned a clerical job. The Roman militarty was like a mini society in itself and much of their work or jobs were the same as the civilian contractors.
