5. Complete digital paperwork and manage customer expectations during pre-installation.
6. Ensure strict compliance with health and safety and company processes.

2. 25 days annual leave + bank holidays.
3. Full kit provided (tools, van, PPE).
4. Career progression in a growing alt-net provider.
5. Family-friendly policies (enhanced parental leave).
