Job description

To meet and exceed our business objectives, we need someone to own, lead, grow, and scale our network and infrastructure.

Bring your IP Network Engineering skills, along with a broader infrastructure engineering and Operational Technology expertise to innovate, automate, and elevate our capabilities.

This is an opportunity to be forward-thinking, applying your existing ideas or conducting research to implement new solutions.

Our network is 10 years old, stable, and continuously evolving without legacy issues. We have built a full fibre network of 14,000 km that transports data for 140,000 customers. With a customer growth rate of 40% annually, we plan to upgrade our core to 1.2Tb/s early next year.

You will own the technical strategy, roadmap, and budget. Additionally, you will lead and manage teams including Network Architects, Designers, Engineers, Transmission, and IT Operations.

Note: This role is hybrid, requiring at least one day per week at our Head Office in Abingdon, Oxon.

Experience in large carrier and FTTP/FTTH infrastructure is beneficial but not essential. What matters most is senior-level IP network engineering knowledge and the ability to lead teams and align technology with business goals. A passion for using technology to deliver excellent customer experiences is essential.

Building strong relationships with stakeholders and demonstrating effective leadership that resonates with our values and culture are equally important. The customer always comes first.

Gigaclear is a growing Fibre Broadband (FTTP/FTTH) company, deploying fibre-to-the-premises infrastructure in some of the UK's most challenging areas, empowering communities with city-level broadband access.

If interested, please apply. A full Job Description is available for those progressing to the next stage.

• Collaborative and engaging culture that encourages growth and skills development
• Generous pension scheme with up to 8% matched contribution
• Income protection and life assurance
• 25 days holiday plus bank holidays, holiday purchase scheme, and Yay Days!
• Health cash plan, 24/7 remote GP access, and Employee Assistance Programme including counseling and legal advice
• Unlimited online training and development resources via our Learning Management System
• Long service benefits and monthly employee recognition
• Enhanced maternity and paternity provisions
• Flexible working environment
• Health and Wellbeing initiatives and company-funded social events

Our values are to work guided by our mission, vision, and principles: Find a way, Be committed, Do the right thing, Keep it simple.
