We are a fast-growing, innovative Internet provider, delivering full-fibre broadband across rural areas in the Southwest, including Dorset, Somerset, New Forest, and now expanding our network into Wiltshire.

• The negotiation with customers on the best route through their property to their desired termination point.
• Assisting Service Delivery teams across the company where necessary to support customer needs.
• Liaising with both colleagues and customers; keeping in regular contact with office staff & team leaders.
• Appropriate use of safety equipment and procedures, ensuring H&S/Highways guidelines for safe roadside / pathway working are always followed and implemented and in depth understanding and appreciation of the Street works considerations
