We own and operate a radio network across the top of the South Island. We are a company of 14 people including sales, service, and installers. We have a strong emphasis on high-quality engineering and technical practices. We get things done. Our team is nimble, decisions are made quickly, and we are action-oriented.
About the role:
Initially, the work will comprise programming and configuring mobile radios, bench service work, radio network implementation, frequency planning and design, configuring radio network equipment. Site work is required for new installations, upgrades, and repairs and maintenance. A strong understanding of TCP/IP networking as well as configuring DMR Tier III and Tier II networks and mobile radio is required.
A solid theoretical understanding of RF systems including system-level RF analysis and link budget analysis.
A solid understanding of TCP/IP networking and addressing.
In addition:
Highest regard for the health and safety of everyone on site and the public.
Excellent communication skills both written and oral and the ability to build strong working relationships.
Strong logic in fault finding and problem-solving ability.
