This is an opportunity to join the Hebrides Tracking Engineering Team, working in a world class Testing and Trials Evaluation environment, you will play a vital role in the maintenance, repair and operation, of a broad range of equipment, underpinned by a qualification in and practical working knowledge of electrical and electronic equipment.

Where we are

The MOD Hebrides Range is located at various sites on the islands of South Uist, Benbecula and St Kilda. The Tracking radars maintained and operated by the Engineering team are situated on the Island of South Uist and St Kilda.

The MOD Hebrides Range is operated by QinetiQ on behalf of the Ministry of Defence under the terms of the Long Term Partnering Agreement (LTPA) contract. The Missile Testing Range was built by the Royal Air Force between 1957 and 1958 to launch the Corporal Missile, Britain and America's first guided Nuclear Weapon and today consists of a Deep Range for complex weapons trials and in-service firings and an Inner Range for ground-based air defence campaigns.

The Hebrides Range operating area occupies 115,000km² of sanitised airspace with unlimited altitude and can be extended for specific trials, for example the NATO Formidable Shield exercises require in excess of 1,000,000km². This large area makes it ideal for Air-Launched Weapons Operations and is a fully Instrumented Controlled Environment which enables the test and evaluation of Land, Air & Sea Weapons, Systems and Training.

What does the Hebrides Tracking Engineering team do?

The 2 Tracking Radars situated on South Uist are operated from Range Control Building along with 2 remotely operated radars situated on St Kilda.
