Summary
This hybrid role offers a great balance of home and office working. You’ll join your colleagues in your local office at least 2/3 days a week.
As the UK’s largest fibre-only network, and its only proven wholesale challenger, we’re busy setting new standards for what digital infrastructure can and should be.
