You may think that a Field Service Engineer sounds technical, and in part, it is - but this role is so much more than that. It’s about connecting people with what matters most.

You’ll be out and about, travelling to different locations and meeting new people every day. If you want to make a real difference, this is it.

No two days are the same. One day, you could be installing cutting-edge broadband in a customer’s home; the next, you’re troubleshooting an issue and helping someone get back online and making their day. You’ll enjoy the freedom of working outside and get to experience real job progression. And the best part? You’ll only be working 4 days out of 7 each week.

No experience? No problem. We’ll fully train and support you every step of the way through a detailed onboarding stage when you join. You’ll also have a dedicated mentor who will join you on the journey to provide you with ongoing guidance.

What You’ll Do

You’ll be the friendly face of our brand, delivering top-notch service while tackling a variety of tasks:

• Install and maintain broadband, TV, and phone services to customers' homes.
• Quickly resolve technical issues, ensuring customers stay connected to what matters most.
• Provide exceptional service that leaves every customer satisfied and smiling.
• Work independently with the backing of a supportive team, always there to help you deliver your best.

Who we are

“As a Field Engineer, every door you knock on and life-changing moment you create with our customers means you will have the whole team behind you. This is a job for everyone and if you love people, you’re going to build a fantastic career with a range of opportunities.”

Gill Baker – Head of Field Services

• A starting salary of £29,000 with the potential to earn up to £36,200 through on-target earnings (£4,700 overtime + £2,500 commission).
• Private medical cover through BUPA (including upgrade options to cover loved ones), a healthcare plan, and critical illness insurance.
• Market-leading maternity, paternity, neonatal, and carers leave policies.
• 25 days of annual leave, UK bank holidays and your birthday off. Plus, the option to buy and sell up to 5 extra days.
• A 4-day working week – After training, you’ll work 37.5 hours across just 4 days (Monday to Saturday), with shifts ranging between 7.5 and 10 hours.
• Up to 10% employer pension contributions and life insurance.
