About the role

We're looking for an Electrical / Electronic Field Engineer to join our team at an entry level based from Faslane, Helensburgh.  This role benefits from our 9/75 working pattern offering a 9 day working fortnight, giving you every other Friday off.

• Conduct corrective, preventative maintenance for the SWS Navigation Sub-system.
