Another part of the role will be, with the rest of the development to help develop the products that they supply so that they can maintain and increase their lead over other suppliers and companies across the world.

The ideal candidate would probably be either a Snr Cpl or Jnr Sgt who has maintained and operated the equipment in some very hostile environments across the globe.
