Job Overview
This job is with Virgin Media O2, an inclusive employer and a member of myGwork – the largest global platform for the LGBTQ+ business community. Please do not contact the recruiter directly. Embrace the tech revolution.
Our Field Engineers are the qualified experts who dazzle our customers every day by installing or fixing products in their homes and businesses while offering professional advice.
Grow your potential as a Field Technician Apprentice and join us in connecting communities through our technology, earning £26,500 whilst gaining an industry‑recognised qualification.
What You’ll Do
As a Field Technician Apprentice you will work with the very latest technology – our superfast broadband, dazzling TV and entertainment services.
By the end of the apprenticeship you will have mastered installing and fixing our Phone, TV and Broadband products, including:
* Running and installing cables across different sites
* Adjusting signal levels and connections
* Configuring our advanced equipment
* Working at heights to install and update equipment on poles
* Working outdoors in all weather conditions – be comfortable with physical, hands‑on work in changing environments
Training and Development
The apprenticeship combines on‑the‑job learning with academic study, with approximately 20% of your working hours spent completing learning with one of our training providers. The programme is fully funded by us, and we will support you from day one.
Qualifications and Requirements
* Full UK driving licence that entitles you to drive our vans and a willingness to travel within your designated area
* Comfortable with tasks involving elevated heights
* Living in close proximity to your designated areas to minimise travel
* Tech‑savvy with a passion for problem‑solving and a desire to embody our brand values
The only barrier to applying would be if you didn’t have the right to work in the UK or hold the correct driving licence.
Benefits
Earn a salary of £26,500, rising to £29,000 upon completion, and enter a Regional Bonus Scheme after a qualifying period.
* 25 days holiday, increasing to 28 days after 5 years, plus your birthday off
* Flexible benefits package including matching up to 10% of your pension contribution, holiday buying and selling, and discounts on shopping, travel and more
* Private Bupa healthcare and up to 26 weeks’ paid maternity & adoption leave, plus generous paternity and neonatal leave
* And plenty more to support you inside and outside of work
Next Steps
If we feel like a place where you can belong, we’d love to learn more about you. After submitting an application, the next steps – if successful – may include an online test, a telephone interview, a coaching call and an assessment centre.
We encourage all interested applicants to apply as soon as possible. We may bring the closing date forward and will keep reviewing applications throughout the advert. If offered a role, it will be conditional on passing background checks.
