Service Air Force Specialisation Intelligence, IT and Communications Location Auckland, Palmerston North, Wellington, Blenheim Starting Trade Training $71,113 About the role Effective employment of Information Communication Technology (ICT) can offer a military force a significant operational advantage.
Communication and Information Systems Officers (CISOs) are experts in the employment of high-tech IT systems designed to interconnect elements of a military force.
As a CISO you will be responsible for leading personnel and ICT systems to support operations wherever the RNZAF is deployed.
Job on base At an Air Force Base, CISOs command teams of specialist CIS Technicians. These teams provide communication support to RNZAF aircraft using satellite and radio systems to pass information between the aircraft and ground-based IT networks.
You will be responsible for ensuring your team is ready to deploy whenever needed, ensuring equipment is serviceable and personnel under your command are trained and ready to perform their duties.
Job on deployment A CISO can expect to be one of the first to deploy, arriving ahead of the main force. You will be required to manage your team in order to establish vital communication with headquarters (HQ) and to set up other critical information systems for use by the deploying force.
While deployed, a CISO will direct the establishment of IT, satellite and radio networks that support the functions of command and control, intelligence, logistics and communications.
Once setup, these networks need to be protected from cyber threats, jamming and interception by adversaries. Your knowledge of cyber-defence and electronic warfare will be critical to safeguarding our operationally sensitive information.
You'll engage with other divisions of the military and Other Government Agencies in order to ensure the successful fulfilment of the mission.
