Communications Exploitation Engineer - Technical Development Unit (SEROCU)
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Communications Exploitation Engineer to join the Technical Development Unit (TDU) within SEROCU.
You will be working as part of a team using your radio frequency (RF) communications knowledge and experience. Working closely with the Technical Surveillance Unit, intelligence teams, investigating officers, and others, this is an opportunity to use your specialist skills and initiative to ensure the success of some of the South East’s most serious operations.
You will be required to have a practical and flexible approach and attitude as well as a willingness to deploy on operations at short notice and join an on-call rota to provide 24/7 support. You will also be required to work protracted hours in challenging situations across the South East, and potentially anywhere in the UK, in pursuance of providing electronic and communications technical surveillance supporting covert policing activities.
You will be required to travel for business purposes across the South East and occasionally throughout the UK. Therefore, the successful candidate will require a full UK driving licence held for at least 2 years. You will be asked to demonstrate flexibility regarding working hours in line with operational demand and occasionally this may require working away from home.
Due to the nature of our work, security is of paramount importance to us and therefore it will be necessary to pass and maintain vetting level SC. In order to achieve this, you must be a British National and have resided in the UK for the past five. Exemptions may apply for overseas or other diplomatic service (with HM Government), and studying abroad.
You can find more information about security vetting here.
