Radio Frequency Network Engineer
3 days ago
About the Role:
As a Reserve Radio Frequency Technician, you will be part of a committed team that engineers and manages Radio Frequency networks for the New Zealand Army. 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 New Zealand, 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 Responsibilities:
- Maintaining and operating Radio Frequency (RF) links and communication equipment
- Conducting training to stay proficient in general soldiering skills such as physical fitness, weapon handling, medical, and vehicle-based training tasks
- Interacting with Regular Force and Reserve personnel from other NZ Army units providing training, advice, or assistance to meet their specific communication requirements
- Establishing and maintaining RF networks and assisting in Command Post Operations
Training and Career Progression:
The initial training consists of three stages: Module 1, Module 2, and Corps Training. Module 1 is conducted throughout the calendar year, while Module 2 and Corps Training take place in November, December, and January of a given year.
Module 1 introduces recruits to the New Zealand Army and Reserve Force service, while Module 2 focuses on developing individual skills required of a soldier at a basic level of capability. Corps Training provides trade-specific training and refines outputs focused on operations within the combat battlespace.
After completing initial trade training and gaining experience within the RNZ Signals Squadron, you may be selected to complete a Detachment Commanders course, which prepares you to lead a vehicle and personnel detachment responsible for sustaining command and control systems across the battlespace.
