* Deliver onboarding and training for 1st and 2nd line support staff
* Support MoD programme rollouts and documentation standards
* Support obsolescence planning and spare part procurement
* Be willing to 'roll up sleeves' and lead from the front when needed
What We’re Looking For:
* Ability to hold or obtain DV (Developed Vetting) Security Clearance
* Experience in Royal Navy communications systems (COMSAT, MILSAT, MNE, message handling)
* Proficiency with electrical/electronic systems, IT networking, and satellite communications
* Tenacity, initiative, and ability to prioritise in high-pressure situations
* Excellent written and verbal communication skills
* Strong understanding of MoD operational and support structures across land and sea
* Confidence in customer-facing scenarios with a proactive, problem-solving mindset
* Proficiency in standard office and ticketing tools
* Willingness to travel when required
* ITIL understanding or certification

What We Offer:
* Key technical position in a secure, mission-critical support environment
