Job description

Lead Consultant / Architect - Mobile Communication Systems

Location: Hybrid

Since 2014, Mason Advisory has become synonymous with high-quality consultancy, enabling businesses to deliver value through Digital and Technology transformation. IT leadership and teams work with us to solve complex challenges through the intelligent use of resources, and we believe in building trusted relationships with clients, supporting them to drive change themselves, from within the organisation.

We are proud to have established a great company culture—one of fun and positivity, caring for clients and each other, recognising everyone’s value, and with a sincere commitment to being responsible citizens and supporting our communities. Now in our tenth year as an independent, award-winning consultancy, we continue to experience sustained growth and have embarked on a new four-year strategy to expand our reach, double our size, and confirm our place as a market leader.

About the Role:

We are seeking candidates at a Senior Technical Architect / Lead / Consultant level to take a part in key roles within the design, delivery, and assurance of large-scale mobile communication and control room systems. This position requires both strong technical expertise and strategic leadership, ensuring successful programme execution while engaging with stakeholders at all levels.

Depending on seniority, the role may lean more towards technical hands-on work (architecture and assurance) or high-level leadership (programme oversight, stakeholder engagement, and strategic direction).

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the design, architecture, and assurance of complex mobile communication networks.
• Oversee programme delivery, ensuring alignment with technical and business objectives.
• Engage with key stakeholders, including clients, vendors, and internal teams.
• Engage with stakeholders to capture and define User Requirements, User Journeys, and User Experience (UI/UX).
• Specify technical requirements and specifications.
• Provide technical expertise to support system procurements and outcomes, assisting specification, evaluation and award criteria.
• Provide technical assurance and governance across large-scale deployments.
• Stay at the forefront of mobile communications technology trends and standards.

We are particularly interested in candidates with experience in one or more of the following areas:

• Mission Critical Communications (MCx).
• 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Standards.
• Radio Communications standards and protocols.
• Long-Term Evolution (LTE).
• 5G / 5G NR.
• Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA).
• Control Room Suppliers and Procurement of Suppliers Products.

Security Clearance:

Due to the nature of the role, candidates must already hold or be willing to undergo Security Clearance (SC) and potentially other levels of vetting.

Diversity statement:

Mason Advisory is proud of the diversity within our business, which gives us the best opportunity to deliver fantastic results to our clients. We aim wherever possible, to balance the demands of the role with the flexibility to deliver a good work-life balance. As a result, we are actively encouraging applications from candidates from a wide range of backgrounds, and this will always remain a key part of our growth strategy.

We offer great salaries commensurate with knowledge, skills, experience, and enthusiasm, coupled with the opportunity to join a growing organisation with a fantastic team culture that allows everyone the opportunity to contribute and make an impact.
