Location: Redditch, Worcestershire - Permanent/Full Time/Hybrid

Competitive Salary & Variety of Benefits on Offer

Are you a hands-on communications specialist with a passion for solving complex networking challenges? Do you want to apply your technical skills in a role that combines cutting-edge mobile ad hoc networking (MANET) solutions with real-world fieldwork?

Join our Communications Business Unit as a Networking Engineer, where you will work with some of the most sophisticated customers, including the MoD and government agencies, delivering Wave Relay® MANET solutions that keep people connected in challenging environments.

• Lead the design, configuration, and integration of customer MANET networks.
• Serve as the technical lead and subject-matter expert for Wave Relay® solutions, including Cloud Relay.
• Create network documentation (diagrams, technical guides) and communicate complex scenarios to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Support internal and external engineering demonstrations, system integration, and development testing.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to influence product development based on customer feedback.
• Provide on- and off-site customer support, training, and relationship building.
• Work on tactical programs such as Human-Machine Teaming networking, UAS solutions, and deployable voice and situational awareness applications.

You are a confident, solutions-focused professional who thrives in hands-on, field-based environments. You enjoy working with advanced technology, solving technical problems, and collaborating with a team of experts. Ex-Armed Forces candidates will find this role particularly rewarding, as your operational experience and understanding of defence communications will be highly valued.

• Enterprise network integration experience, including VPN configuration and troubleshooting.
• 4+ years in IT, ideally with Service Management and Level 3 Technical Support experience.
• Cisco CCNA or equivalent networking certification (or 4+ years’ practical networking experience).
• Knowledge of Radio Frequency (RF) protocols and MANET principles.
• Experience collaborating with customers and providing technical support.
• Experience with ITSM, Cyber Security, and Cloud environments is a plus.
• Defence, Intelligence, or Special Operations communications experience is desirable but not essential.

• Work with cutting-edge technology used by defence and government customers.
• Opportunity to make a real impact on mission-critical communications solutions.
• Collaborative team environment where your insights and operational experience shape product development.
• Field-based and hands-on role for those who thrive outside a traditional office.

If you are ready to bring your technical expertise, operational experience, and problem-solving skills to a role that matters, we want to hear from you.
Apply today and help us keep the most challenging networks connected.
