Telecom Technician - Antwerp (m/f/x)

About the role

This is a permanent, full-time telecom technician post at level C with Belgium's federal telecom and postal regulator, the BIPT. You will work in the Controls service, where the focus is making sure wireless communication works without harmful interference. Each working day starts at the control centre in Antwerp, from where you travel with a colleague in a service vehicle to carry out checks across the region. The work is varied and hands-on: investigating radio interference, checking that transmitters meet their licence conditions, measuring equipment, and tracing faults to defective devices or parts. You will also check the conformity of radio equipment on the Belgian market, working with manufacturers, importers and distributors and, on imports, with customs. Because the work is field-based, no two days are the same, and occasional availability outside normal hours, including evenings, nights or weekends for events, may be needed. The selection is in Dutch, and the post is full-time on a 38-hour week.
