Your role
From radar and satellite systems to digital voice communications, the Air Force relies on state of the art electronics to provide an accurate view of the airspace around us while communicating efficiently with aircrews. So it takes a special kind of technician to monitor, maintain and trouble-shoot these advanced systems.
In the varied and rewarding role as a Communication Electronic Technician, your ‘workshop’ could be anything from a climate controlled maintenance facility to a temporary in-the-field shelter overseas. You’ll be responsible for such systems as:
- Ground telecommunication equipment
- Surveillance and control equipment
- Integrated communication systems
- Navigation aids
- Ground-based radar systems
- Satellite communication systems, and
- IT infrastructure.
One morning you could be carrying out electrical measurements or configuring a network. The next may see you coordinating the delivery of spares. The one constant is that no two days will be the same.
Air Force technical training is world class and the skills you acquire can lead to nationally-recognised qualifications that will benefit you for life.
If you enjoy electronics, have a good eye for detail, and work well under pressure, this is your chance to embark on a really worthwhile career. Better still, you’ll be working for a dynamic organisation that offers a great lifestyle plus opportunities you simply won’t find anywhere else.
