Lancaster base | Projects mainly across the North West
If you’re currently working in a hands-on technical role — installing fibre, running data cabling, working on telecoms infrastructure or carrying out electrical installations — and you want to build a long-term career in networking, this could be a really good step forward.
This role sits within a growing connectivity provider where you’ll be part of a project delivery team installing and supporting network infrastructure across commercial customer sites. The work is practical and varied. You’ll be out on site installing and testing fibre links, working with structured cabling, mounting wireless equipment, supporting WAN connectivity deployments and fault-finding infrastructure issues.
It’s a good move for someone who enjoys working with tools, being in different environments and seeing projects through from installation to completion — rather than doing repetitive domestic call-outs or being stuck on a helpdesk.
Although the office base is in Lancaster, most projects are across the North West, so this isn’t a role that involves constant nationwide travel. A company van is available when you’re travelling to project sites, and you’ll work alongside experienced engineers who can support your development as you build deeper networking knowledge.
The role would suit someone early in their technical career who wants to move towards network engineering or technical project delivery over time. Many people joining at this level go on to become more technically specialised, step into senior engineering positions or move towards leadership roles.
You could currently be working as a data cabling engineer, fibre or telecoms engineer (including Openreach environments), field IT support engineer, electrical installer, military signals engineer or a technical apprentice looking for broader infrastructure project exposure.
You’ll need a full UK driving licence, a proactive attitude and a genuine interest in developing your technical skillset. There is also participation in an on-call rota, so some flexibility is important.
If you feel like you’re doing similar installs week after week and want a role that gives you more technical exposure and career progression, it’s worth having a conversation
