JOB RESPONSIBILITY

*Actively monitor the condition of the satcom and terrestrial facilities during normal operations, including the status of system alarms of all active components in the uplink and down link chains as well as status of systems alarm for station plant and facility subsystems.

*Respond to pertinent actions requested from other stations with in the network with a response time of 15minutes or less.

*In case of service interruption, commence as soon as possible repair and restoration actions, either together with a second station or locally within the station such as to meet a meantime to repair of an hour or less.

*Conduct any local tests on any relevant part of the system (RF or IF test) and must conform to IESS 308/309 standards.

*Provide maintenance of equipment (preventive and corrective maintenance) sometimes in the form of unit replacement with provided spares with a response time of 1 hour and replacement activity within 4 hours.

*Perform system intergration and interface from different manufacturers of component to form an assembly or subassembly.

*Research and propose to management equipment or system enhancements to improve reliability, increase efficiency, simplify operation or reduce overall operating cost.
