What's the role all about
Our technician role is an entry level traineeship, aimed at inexperienced candidates or people interested in a career change. The role will involve either one, or a mixture of both, electronics engineering and/or radio engineering.
Electronics engineering consists of build, maintenance and repair activity in any one of our c5.5k exchanges, data centres or switch sites – one day you might be installing new fibre cabling to enable additional bandwidth for local businesses, the next might find you carrying out repairs on key network equipment serving thousands of residential customers.
Radio engineering involves the maintenance and repair of 2/3/4/5g radio equipment, and can involve working at height, in some of the most challenging/rural site locations we maintain. Whether it’s working on the roof of a commercial building in your local city centre or hitching a helicopter ride to a remote Scottish island, our radio engineers visit a wide variety of locations to ensure everyone has access to mobile and broadband services.
