About Us
Kägwerks, a Codan company, develops advanced tactical communications and networking technology for defence, government and national security customers.
We specialise in mobile ad hoc networking (MANET), edge computing and integrated C5ISR solutions designed to operate in disconnected, degraded, intermittent and bandwidth-limited environments.
Kägwerks is growing rapidly within the MANET market, creating opportunities to work on a wide variety of specialist projects with military teams, government customers and technology partners.
About The Role
The Field Service Representative (FSR) is a key member of the Kagwerks Rest of World organisation and is responsible for providing highly capable technical, operational, and customer-facing support for the deployment, integration, demonstration, and sustainment of advanced Kagwerks systems.
The role requires a strong understanding of tactical communications, Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANET), IP networking, edge computing, and AI/ML-enabled technologies. Working directly with military, government, and specialist end users, the FSR will support systems throughout the customer lifecycle, from initial capability demonstrations and trials through to deployment, training, operational support, and ongoing system optimisation.
The successful candidate will be comfortable operating independently in challenging and potentially austere environments and will be capable of translating complex technical capabilities into practical operational solutions.
You Will
The most important requirement is practical experience of MANET technology and tactical radio systems. You may currently work for a MANET, tactical communications or defence technology company, or have gained directly relevant experience within the Armed Forces.
You Should Also Have
This is an opportunity to join a rapidly growing business operating at the forefront of tactical networking and edge technology.
You will work on varied and technically challenging projects rather than supporting a single fixed product or programme. The role offers exposure to emerging communications technology, specialist military users and complex integration challenges where the quality of the solution has a genuine operational impact.
You will also have the opportunity to work across Kägwerks, DTC and the wider Codan group, collaborating with specialists in MANET communications, RF, embedded systems, edge computing and C5ISR.
Additional Requirements
You must be willing and able to undergo UK Security Clearance
You must be able to undertake regular UK and international travel, including occasional travel at short notice
You must be able to meet relevant customer, security and international travel requirements
