You'll use it to reach customers across the region, delivering a friendly, knowledgeable service and linking them to what truly matters.

You'll also help expand our business by encouraging referrals and earn a £50 bonus for every new customer! As a Field Technician Apprentice, you'll have opportunities to work on and with the very latest technology, such as our superfast broadband, dazzling TV and entertainment services.

  • Working outdoors in all weather conditions - performing physical, hands on work in changing environments

  • A full UK driving licence that entitles you to drive our vans and feel comfortable with tasks involving elevated heights.
