Summary

This hybrid role offers a great balance of home and office working. You’ll join your colleagues in your our offices at least 2 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.

Designed from scratch for the internet, our network is greener, more reliable and ready for the future. The products we provide over it not only lead the market on speed, value and service, they help businesses to innovate, provide entire communities with a better foundation for their digital lives and support economic growth, locally and nationally.

What does that mean for you? The opportunity to make internet connections (and daily life) a whole lot better, for a lot of people!

Joining us as a Network Maintenance Manager (FEX, FAC & CoLo)

This is some of what you can expect to be doing:

Manage multiple work schemes to deliver M&E network maintenance efficiently

Collaborate with Delivery Partners for accurate PPM and reactive work reporting

Identify and resolve supplier performance issues and drive operational efficiencies

Produce weekly reports on progress, risks, costs, and compliance

What you’ll bring to the role

You will bring a proven track record in delivering small to medium works, with strong leadership and excellent communication skills. You’ll also have:

Experience managing budgets extending to millions
