London is home to almost nine million people across 32 boroughs. To ensure we keep an eye on every part of our capital, we rely on cutting-edge surveillance technology. From crime operations to sporting events, our technical teams provide vital support - enabling us to oversee the safety of our citizens.

As a Technical Operational Planning Coordinator, you'll be instrumental in the delivery of effective technical support and solutions. You'll orchestrate and organise operational requirements as part of a skilled team of engineers, ensuring frontline policing operations are carried out with the highest degree of accuracy.

The Operational Support Unit (OSU) sits within the Operational Technology Group of MO3, Covert Policing. Based at Newlands Park, you'll join a team of 45 dedicated engineers using advanced technical equipment to keep London safe. From surveillance cameras to satellite communications, you'll provide support across a range of requirements including demonstrations, sporting events and counter terrorism operations.

This is a highly technical role, where you'll provide CCTV cover for varied events in the capital as needed. You'll have experience in leading projects, as well as a record of outstanding service delivery. So you'll be organised, and attend briefing meetings to ensure you capture all the requirements. You'll be a confident communicator as you'll discuss these with senior stakeholders and deliver briefings to colleagues. Importantly, you'll be resourceful, proactive, and able to keep calm when it matters most.

As you may sometimes work outside office hours, you'll need to be flexible. Membership of an accredited technical institution or governing body is essential, while an appropriate qualification is desirable. A good understanding of camera technology, protocols and code of practice would be advantageous.
