Asker: I'm afraid I'm not really keen on this, despite the references. Was looking for something more inspiring, but may have to just go with this in the end. Cheers ;)

Explanation:
Quite a lot of these around.

"Officer" is one possibility for avoiding "technician", which I think is quite often unsuitable for "técnico". After all, a "técnico" is often just someone who has some sort of training in a skill, not necessarily a technical skill.
