System Technician - East

Field Based (covering the East, from Hunstanton to Lymington, including the Thames and the Isle of Wight)

£25,407 - £29,891 Plus Benefits including Company Vehicle, Pension Scheme, 26 Days’ Holiday

Our client is a charity that provides a 24-hour lifeboat search and rescue service and a seasonal lifeguard service.

Whatever the weather, equipment and crew need to operate to the very highest possible technical standards. It will be up to you to ensure this. This is an ideal opportunity to use your skills working on state of the art lifeboats and associated equipment throughout the East region and occasionally other areas within the UK and ROI.

You will become part of a close team, working with Station Mechanics, Contractors and other Technical staff to carry out planned maintenance, fault diagnosis and defect repair on all of the electronic/electrical equipment and occasionally mechanical equipment within the region. It’s a chance to really make a lifesaving impact on the vital maintenance of lifeboats and their equipment.

Part of your duties as a System Technician will include trials of existing, repaired or new equipment so you will need to possess and demonstrate an excellent electronic/electrical knowledge. You should have a desire to stay current in the use of existing technology and a willingness to learn and be involved in the roll-out and assessment of new electronic equipment which is constantly changing within our client’s Search and Rescue Assets.

To be considered, you will need:

- A time-served engineering apprenticeship or experience in mechanical, electrical and/or electronic engineering

- An NVQ Level 3 qualification (or equivalent) in a mechanical, electrical or electronic discipline

- A full driving licence

At least one of the following is also key:

- Wide knowledge of diesel and petrol engines/electrical systems

- Marine or plant experience

- Experience of construction/modification of electronic equipment

- Experience of the repair and maintenance of electronic equipment

- A towing licence

As a System Technician, you will need to be a proactive individual who can respond quickly to changing priorities and tight deadlines. You’ll also be self-motivated, willing to go that extra mile and able to work well, both as part of a team and on your own initiative.

As this is a sea-going appointment, you will need to satisfy the institution's medical and eyesight standards.

The role requires you to be part of a duty rota and be expected, when required, to work unsociable hours. As this is a field based role, you will be required to travel throughout the East, South East England and occasionally other regions in the UK and ROI.

The closing date for applications is the 26th January 2018. Interviews are scheduled to be held on the week commencing the 5th February 2018.

Our client’s staff and volunteers have been saving lives at sea without prejudice for nearly 200 years. They respect and value diversity of background, skills and perspectives within their teams, and consider it essential to help the organisation deliver a world-class lifesaving service. Our client is an inclusive organisation and welcome applications from everyone. In addition to having the skills needed for the role, our client also looks for applicants who share their commitment to living their values (trustworthy, courageous, selfless, and dependable), and helping them work towards their goals of halving drowning in the UK and Ireland by 2024. This involves a growing commitment to preventative action, using expertise to work in partnership with communities locally, nationally and internationally to prevent drowning.
