Summary
The role of Technical Operations Lead within BDUK’s growing technical function forms a key part of ensuring that
the £5BN of investment into Gigabit Capable telecommunications infrastructure delivers a high performance and
high-quality network for the UK.
Our contracts with our suppliers are to deliver Gigabit Networks in really challenging, rural and remote areas, and
you’ll be involved in evaluating the technology that underpins these networks, be it GPON, XGS-PON, P2P or
Wireless.
You’ll scrutinise the network design schematics, equipment, dimensioning, passive elements, active sites,
backhaul & core provision making sure that each premises served can order a Gigabit Connection.
With your knowledge of the methods of network deployment, planning, civils and commissioning you’ll be able to
validate the assumptions made within our suppliers' delivery plans and to challenge inconsistencies or omissions
within the end-to-end network build process.
You’ll support our Delivery Leads in the verification of service by providing assurance of the network performance
and testing characteristics produced via OTDR, iOLM or ILM. Your acceptance of completed telecoms networks
(PONs) will form part of the payment process for our suppliers.
As a subject matter expert, you’ll support functions across BDUK in everything relating to fibre network design and
operation as well as wireless applications and other emerging technology. While plenty of information will be
digitally provided by suppliers, you’ll also take interest in the built network and will spend time with suppliers on
site from time to time.
