Want to lead a large radio network upgrades in the UK? Our client, a global leader in mission-critical communications, is replacing around 1,700 TETRA base stations across the UK's national public safety radio network.

• Lead the third-party installation contractors carrying out the work on site

• Secure site access and manage dependencies such as transmission links and planned outages

• Track progress, risks and budget, and report to programme leadership

• Work alongside a Project Coordinator on scheduling and day-to-day delivery

What you bring

• A proven track record managing large-scale radio or mobile network rollouts on live sites

• TETRA experience, ideally on Motorola Dimetra systems (a strong advantage)

• Experience directing subcontractors and field teams across many sites at once

• Good knowledge of UK geography

• A structured, hands-on approach and comfort working with many stakeholders

What's on offer

• A long-term contract running to mid-2029

• Mainly remote working, with occasional travel to the client's office in Rugby and to sites

• A high-profile programme that matters to the UK's emergency services
