Key Responsibilities

• Act as the first responder and point of contact for ERS, Section 81s, network damages, and diversionary works.
• Conduct impact assessments, manage cable migrations, and coordinate with external stakeholders to meet delivery milestones.
• Perform routine asset inspections, document findings, and arrange corrective actions to maintain network integrity.
• Support complex maintenance tasks and ensure high standards of safety, quality, and compliance across all field activities.

What you’ll bring to the role

• Proven supervisory experience in utilities or telecoms, with strong knowledge of NRSWA and fibre network infrastructure.
• Hands‑on experience in OSP telecoms build including civils, cabling, and splicing, with solid understanding of CDM regulations.
• Skilled in risk assessment, stakeholder negotiation, and managing contracted engineering works under pressure.
• Proficient in Microsoft Office tools and familiar with workflow and planning software such as QGIS, Salesforce, or ServiceNow.
