Digital transformation, data and technology all play a central role in how we deliver our services from mobilising crews and accessing risk-critical information to managing resources and supporting back-office functions. As we continue to modernise, digital transformation is helping us build smarter, more connected systems that enhance responsiveness, improve decision-making, and strengthen community safety.
We are now seeking a motivated, experienced, and proactive individual to join our Digital Data and Technology (ICT) Department as a Senior Engineer within our Communications Team.
This key role involves supporting a resilient, secure and high‑performing network infrastructure that underpins critical operational and corporate services. The successful candidate will provide senior technical leadership, oversee day‑to‑day network operations, and work closely with internal stakeholders and external suppliers to ensure network services are reliable. They will play a central role in digital transformation by improving network performance, enabling secure connectivity and integration, and adopting modern networking technologies to enhance service delivery and user experience.
We are looking for someone with strong technical and organisational skills, confident operating within a complex DDaT environment. The ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non‑technical audiences, troubleshoot complex issues proactively, and drive continuous improvement is essential. Experience in enterprise network support, security, mentoring technical staff will be key to success in this role. Welsh language skills are desirable but not essential.
