Technical/Specialist:

• Demonstrate an understanding of both the technical and contextual issues and effectively articulate the issue/requirements/outcomes etc.
• Develop and maintain a comprehensive understanding of the OC team's functional areas to provided resilience as necessary, to include but not limited to; the break/fix process and helpdesk monitoring, auditing and reprogramming and other specialist activities.
• Provide relevant and timely responses to issues arising and contribute to effective resolutions developed by the team, which could include site visits to the Operational Units.
• Provide tactical and operational advice and guidance as appropriate, translating technical concepts to suit a non-technical audience.
• Maintain and develop technical knowledge of Airwave and Operational Communications issues, best practice and standards.
• Develop and maintain a knowledge of ESN - the Emergency Services Network which will replace Airwave within the next 5 years.
