Service Army
Specialisation Army Reserve
Location Palmerston North Christchurch
Initial daily rate $176
As a Reserve Radio Frequency technician (RF TECH), your primary role is to provide and maintain Radio Frequency (RF) networks for NZ Army's Communication Information Systems.
Your training and employment will see you conducting this role throughout NZ, whilst also providing opportunities for overseas travel.
You will work in a team environment, sometimes in high pressure situations, to enable data and voice networks for effective command and control of NZ Forces.
During your training, you will learn to operate various military radio systems that cover the HF, VHF, UHF frequency spectrum.
You will receive training on military and commercial satellite communications terminals that operate in the Ka, Ku and X band frequency spectrum.
As the NZ Army modernises its RF networks and keeps pace with technological change, your role and skillset will be highly relevant, with opportunities for personal growth and professional development.
Job on base
Your day-to-day activities will involve working as a member of a Communications Access Node (CAN) Detachment. Within the camp environment, you will be responsible for maintaining and operating Radio Frequency (RF) links and communication equipment.
You will also conduct training to stay proficient in general soldiering skills such as physical fitness, weapon handling, medical and vehicle based training tasks.
Additionally, as a trained Reserve RF Technician, your role may see you interacting with Regular Force and Reserve personnel from other NZ Army units providing training, advice or assistance to meet their specific communication requirements.
In the field, you will be responsible for establishing and maintaining RF networks and assisting in Command Post Operations.
This will primarily be conducting vehicle based operations, although various scenarios may see you working out of hard standing infrastructure or at times dismounted in support of other units.
Training and career progression
Initial training consists of three stages which equates to approximately 7 weeks of training. Module 1 (Introduction to the New Zealand Army and Reserve Force service) is conducted throughout the calendar year, with Module 2 (Basic Training) & Corps Training (Initial Trade Specific Coursing) taking place in November, December and January of a given year.
Module 1 (Introduction to the New Zealand Army and Reserve Force service) is conducted across New Zealand at specified times throughout the calendar year.
This course is run in Auckland (Whangaparaoa Leadership Centre or RNZAF Base Auckland, Whenuapai), Wellington (Trentham Military Camp) or Christchurch (Burnham Military Camp).
Module 2 (Basic Training) is conducted at Waiouru Military Camp. This is a 38 day residential course, taking place across November, December and January of a given year (duration accounts for leave period over the Christmas and New Year period).
Corps Training (Initial Trade Specific Training) consists of a two week residential course at Linton Military Camp, Palmerston North.
Personnel who complete Module 1 and Module 2 will be posted to their unit (1 SIGNALS SQUADRON), and will be informed of the corps training model in due course.
This course is likely to run in 2023.
Salary and benefits
As a Reservist you are paid on an hourly rate rather than a salary. Pay rates depend on the role you are in and your rank; your pay will increase as you move through the ranks.
As an Army Reserve soldier, the minimum remuneration you will be paid from day one is a daily rate of $176 including holiday pay, plus 4% Kiwisaver employer contributions.
Your remuneration will continue to increase on promotion and seniority.
Entry requirements
You must be at least 17 years of age
Preferably hold a Class 1 restricted driver's licence
NCEA Level 2 certificate.
