Job description

About us

Wifinity was founded in 2007 to solve a problem—our armed forces were struggling with reliable connectivity. While living in barracks, often in remote locations, ordering a landline and booking in an engineer just wasn't an option. And that problem isn't exclusive to the military, either. Students living in University accommodation, families visiting holiday resorts, or living in shared accommodation and retirement communities. Conventional home broadband doesn't always work for them. Wifinity is different. We offer the same benefits as traditional broadband, such as super-fast speeds, WiFi, and secure and private networks, but none of the downsides. We even offer Pay As You Go and flexible contracts, so customers only pay for what they need without hefty penalties or long contract terms. We take the complexity out of connectivity.

The opportunity

In this role you will be responsible for the creation and governance of Wifinity designed solutions through internal and external peer review. You will provide an informed and authoritative sign off function regarding the outputs required of any technical external survey resources. The role includes an assessment and approval of the commercial impact of design decisions and produces customer facing delivery costs for external approval. The team's deliverables are to maintain a design led business approach to maximise quality and consistency, and drive ongoing performance improvements. You will have the chance to work within an exciting team and contribute to new developments and future products at Wifinity.

Key areas of focus

Joining our Delivery Operations team, you will be responsible for the quality assurance and approval of outsourced design work for new and existing business opportunities. You will work with other members of the Projects and Engineering teams to help ensure the continued successful delivery of Wifinity solutions to its customers.

• Validating and approving Wifinity sub-contractors design outputs.

• Maintaining the quality of delivery of Wifinity design standards with external survey resources.
• Feeding back design challenges and working with the engineering and project teams to address potential design flaws.
• Design peer review of both internal and external survey outputs and deliver constructive feedback to maintain a consistently high quality output standard.
• Producing and reviewing accurate Bill of material documents and associated cost models.
• Maintaining good industry knowledge of best practices and market trends.
• Maintaining ongoing knowledge of Wifinity solution vendors and products.

Customer Driven

About you

You will be an experienced individual with the ability to work proactively on tasks and understand the full scope of a problem, working to a solution without the need for continuous direction. You can prioritise tasks within your workload with several competing factors such as time, project dependencies and ongoing programme deliverables whilst maintaining an ongoing output rate. You value quality and design excellence and can articulate solutions demonstrating this in a manner that can be understood by a varied audience. You are comfortable working within a team and highly motivated when working on tasks personally.
