• Maintain accurate records in secure platforms (e.g., Secure Insight)
• Track trends across cases and initiate process improvements
• 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
• Project coordination or obsolescence management experience

What We Offer:

• Key technical position in a secure, mission-critical support environment
• Interaction with senior MoD and government stakeholders
• Opportunities to drive service improvement initiatives and shape process standards
• Supportive team culture and structured onboarding
• Competitive salary and benefits package
