The Emergency Services Network (ESN) Programme is creating the next generation mobile communications network which will replace the existing Airwave solution based on Tetra Technology with a new solution that uses a commercial 4G network, with specialised devices and extensive improvements in coverage.

You will have excellent stakeholder engagement skills and will be adept in building relationships and influencing others. You will have experience in managing and integrating a number of different suppliers to achieve a positive outcome.
