• Identify recurring issues and implement process/service improvements
• Deliver onboarding and training for 1st/2nd line support teams
• Support documentation standards, rollout activities, and obsolescence planning
• Be prepared to “lead from the front” and take ownership in high-pressure or time-critical situations

• Royal Navy communications or similar defence communications background (COMSAT/MILSAT/MNE/message handling)
• Strong understanding of IT networking, SatCom systems, and electronic/electrical equipment
