If you’ve worked with RF, LMR, TETRA, DMR or similar systems and want a role where you’re still hands-on designing, delivering and fixing real-world comms systems this will suit you. Due to the nature of this role, they are seeking individuals living in the Midlands as you will have to cover the UK military sites as well as Cyprus, Gibraltar, Kenya, and of course Germany and you will be expected to be travelling up to 75% of the time. In this role you will be involved across the full lifecycle — not stuck behind a desk.

• Supporting installs, commissioning and acceptance
• Working on TETRA, DMR, LTE/MCX and RF infrastructure
• Running and supporting FAT/SAT testing
• Fault finding and fixing issues on live systems

Good starting salary circa £50k, with over time you can also earn an additional £5 – 10K on top, this is a hands on engineering role, and not just paperwork and you will be working on current MoD operational Comms Systems in the UK and overseas, and could be an ideal step for someone who is leaving the Royal Signals. In old speak, we are looking for a traditional Radio Tech who wants to get more involved with current systems and technologies. Other benefits include:

• Overtime and Nights away paid, circa 5k-10k additional per annum
