Why this job matters The purpose of this Technical Delivery role is to lead the delivery and implementation of converged core initiatives, be they infrastructure rollout, service capability, network realisation and optimisation or best practice policy and procedures. Reporting to the Senior Manager for Delivery within Converged Core, the Technical Delivery Specialist role will be working with both internal and external resources across key areas of the business to deliver complex solutions that by their nature are a challenge to all involved, be that technically, financially or politically. Part of the role may also be to take on work that might not logically sit within Converged Core but which they have taken upon themselves to fulfil to ensure deliveries are completed. Longer term however those activities/function should reside elsewhere.

It supports the UK's Critical National Infrastructure such as 999 services, Utilities, airlines, MoD and government services. It is imperative therefore that the people who work within Converged Core have a passion for what they do. It is about doing the right thing, in the right way for the right reasons, ensuring robust and effective outcomes for the long term, protecting both the Network and the people who rely upon it.
