Job Description
The Radio Network Planning Engineer reports to the RNP Manager and is responsible for the creation of radio network plans for mission critical radio communications networks. These networks are typically for government public safety organisations (e.g. Police, Fire Services, Border Guards, etc.) but also include other sectors such as public transport (Airports, Metros, etc.) and utilities (e.g. water and electricity distribution). Our customers rely on our radio communications network in the moments that matter and we help to ensure the safety of both workers and citizens. The networks typically employ Land Mobile Radio (LMR) technologies such as APCO25, TETRA or DMR. The responsibilities of the role include:
Pre-Sale
- Discussing coverage requirements with potential customers
- Creating initial coverage and frequency plans using radio planning tools
- Evaluating tender requirements
- Creating input for proposals (coverage maps, descriptions, coverage statistics, site configurations)
- Presenting solutions to customers
Post-Sale
- Liaising with site acquisition teams, transmission planning and systems engineers
- Creating detailed RF network plans including coverage maps, frequency plans, neighbour lists, equipment lists, and coverage verification plans.
- Support coverage optimisation activities including site visits as required.
- Analysing drive test data for optimisation and coverage acceptance and producing reports.
Basic Requirements
Ideally candidates will have 10+ years of experience in planning mobile radio networks (Preferably private LMR networks). The following are the most important attributes for the role:
- A track record of successfully planning Radio Access Networks (RANs) for large mobile communications networks
- Proficient with at least one radio network planning software application (e.g. HTZ Communications, Atoll, etc).
- Proficient with GIS tools such as GlobalMapper, QGIS or MapInfo
- Good understanding of mobile radio technologies (TETRA, ASTRO and DMR)
- Hands-on experience of RAN implementation (e.g. site surveys, site RF design, installation and commissioning, drive testing)
- Experience of radio planning in a pre-sales environment (e.g. proposal response, customer presentations, etc)
- Must be fluent in Polish and English Language
- A demonstrated ability to write clear and accurate technical reports
- Excellent communications skills and the confidence to present solutions to customers
- A willingness to establish and develop professional relationships remotely as colleagues and customers will be located throughout APAC and EMEA
