Your new role

We are looking for a Network Coverage Analyst to join a major UK mobile network deployment and resilience programme, supporting the development and improvement of critical communications infrastructure.
This is a great opportunity for someone from a RAN, RF planning, radio optimisation or mobile coverage background who enjoys using technical analysis to solve real-world network challenges.

You'll work across 2G, 4G/LTE and 5G networks, analysing coverage and resilience requirements, reviewing change requests and assessing alternative technical solutions. A key focus will be supporting critical and emergency communications projects through desktop coverage analysis and power resilience planning.

We're particularly interested in candidates with a solid grounding in mobile networks who can analyse coverage challenges, understand potential solutions and communicate their recommendations effectively.

What you'll be doing:

• Analysing mobile network coverage, resilience and performance
• Carrying out desktop coverage analysis across critical communications projects
• Reviewing technical change requests and assessing alternative coverage solutions
• Supporting power resilience assessments and recommendations
• Using radio planning and coverage tools to model potential improvements
• Supporting RAN and mobile network deployment, rollout and coverage enhancement activity
• Analysing network data to identify coverage gaps, risks and opportunities
• Producing clear technical recommendations and reports
• Working closely with radio, network design, deployment and operational teams
• Engaging with technical and non-technical stakeholders across complex infrastructure programmes
• Helping improve coverage planning, reporting and analytical processes

You'll ideally bring experience in some of the following:

• Mobile network coverage analysis
• RF / radio planning
• RAN planning or optimisation
• 4G/LTE and/or 5G networks
• Mobile network deployment, design or infrastructure
• Network resilience or coverage improvement
• Radio planning / coverage modelling tools
• Analysing complex network or performance datasets
• Translating technical analysis into practical recommendations
• Previous exposure to critical communications or Emergency Services Network environments would be particularly useful, but isn't essential
• Existing SC would be advantageous but is not a requirement, as appropriate vetting can be undertaken
