Join to apply for the Network Surveyor role at Wessex Internet
We’re a fast-growing, innovative broadband provider bringing full-fibre connectivity to rural communities across the South West — including Dorset, Somerset, the New Forest, and now expanding into Wiltshire.

Reporting to the Senior Network Surveyor, you’ll work closely with our Network Planning and Construction teams to assess, record, and plan network infrastructure in both overhead and underground environments.
Your work will directly support our Geographic Information System (GIS) by capturing accurate data and providing detailed documentation for new fibre network builds.
