Network Engineer Apprentice Manchester, England
Job description
About the role
Do you want to be an integral part in ensuring the UK stays connected? Join us on our Network Engineer Apprenticeship and study, learn and work towards a professional qualification while gaining precious experience!
Network Engineers play a key part in supporting seamless connectivity, for all those late-night gaming sessions, streaming films with the family, and connecting 45 million mobile connections across the nation.
Build skills for the future
Working in the Field Engineering & Operations division, you’ll work on street cabinets, poles and in network sites, fixing and maintaining our services to ensure smooth delivery to our business and residential customers.
This isn’t your typical field work. You’ll be playing a bigger part in communities, just as we did during the pandemic by connecting the UK’s NHS Nightingale Hospitals, helping to save thousands of lives. You’ll help us drive sustainability objectives through reducing our carbon footprint by using electric vehicles and switching to greener power sources and technology.
Once in a while, our engineers will need to support on-call requirements. Our on-call team works 24/7, 365 days a year, fixing urgent issues that affect our customers from using our products. The expectation won’t be for you to work these hours each day too, just on a rota’d basis.
What we look for
This team is responsible for making sure our network runs, so they’ll often be found working in all weather conditions or even at heights – you should be comfortable doing this too. They also need to go wherever support is needed, so it’s important that you’re comfortable travelling in the region.
We’re 100% committed to having a workforce that represents every part of our society, so we’re keen to hear from candidates of all backgrounds and circumstances.
What’s in it for you
An amazing starting salary of £26,500 with London weighting in eligible locations, invaluable experience and a new set of skills while on this apprenticeship. Throughout, there will be great opportunities to develop your career and salary, including working towards a Level 4 Network Engineer qualification. We’ll also provide a company van so you can reach all your jobs. You can also enjoy our amazing benefits!
