William Hodgson

RF Consultant

Hi, nice to meet you I’m Will, a few facts about me:

  • I am a Leeds United die hard fan
  • Related to James Milner (Grandads cousins son)
  • Think I’m half decent at rugby

I help satellite operators, manufacturers and NewSpace companies across the UK and Europe hire engineering, sales and leadership talent. 

Who We Work With

  • Space and Satellite: operators, service providers, teleports and NewSpace
  • Manufacturers: satellite, RF, antenna and ground segment hardware
  • Defence: aerospace and defence primes and suppliers
  • Telecoms and Managed Services: operators, MSPs, broadcasters and transport technology

What We Recruit For

  • Satellite Communications: VSAT, hub networks, ground segment and ground systems, teleports, enterprise and maritime SATCOM
  • Space Systems: spacecraft, payload, mission operations and satellite control
  • RF Engineering: RF design, test and integration, radio installation, Fixed Wireless Access (FWA)
  • Defence and Secure Communications: SC and DV cleared engineers, critical comms (DMR, PMR, TETRA, PTT/PoC)
  • Networks and Operations: IP networking, NOC, GOC, SOC, mobile (4G, 5G, LTE) and IoT (LoRaWAN)
  • Commercial and Leadership: technical sales, business development, pre-sales, solutions architects and engineering management

How We Help

  • Specialist focus: RF, satellite and space is all we do, so we know the people you want to hire, including those not actively looking
  • UK and European reach: an established network across the UK, Luxembourg and wider Europe, including cleared talent
  • Market insight: salary benchmarking, talent availability and competitor hiring intel
  • Industry voice: we host The Route to Networking podcast with leaders across satellite, RF and defence

Track Record

  • For over three years, a major UK telecoms provider has trusted us as their number one supplier of IP and mobile engineers.
  • We're a go-to hiring partner for a global satellite communications operator, building specialist teams across RF, IP, cyber and satellite engineering.
  • When a global aerospace and defence company had time-sensitive contracts to deliver, we found the SC and DV cleared engineers to get them over the line.
  • We recently helped a major operator build an in-house satellite manufacturing team from scratch, including relocating nearly all hires to Luxembourg from other EU27 countries.
