Virgin Media O2 UK to Create 125 New Engineers in Big Cities

VMO2-EV-Electric-Van

Mobile operator and broadband ISP Virgin Media (VMO2) has opened applications for 125 field engineer apprenticeship positions to help rollout their full fibre (FTTP) and 5g mobile networks across the UK. Most of the positions will be filled in London, Manchester, Bristol, Birmingham, Glasgow and Leicester.

The move is part of last year’s commitment to create 1,000 apprenticeship roles and the operator has already managed to fill more than 500 of those, including in network engineering, cyber security, and digital marketing. The apprenticeship scheme lasts 15 months, but every apprentice who successfully completes it is guaranteed a role within the company. All roles require no qualifications or prior experience.

Each apprentice can expect to receive training and support worth up to £7,000 throughout their programme. All field engineer apprentices work towards a Level 2 Telecoms Field qualification.

Karen Handley, Head of Future Careers at VMO2, said:

“At Virgin Media O2, our people make our ambition to upgrade the UK a reality which is why we’re committed to keep investing in jobs and skills at a time when it has never mattered more. Our incredible team of field engineers play an enormous role in keeping the country connected, so if you’re looking to earn whilst you learn and gain the skills you need for your future career, we’d love to hear from you – why not apply today.”

End.

    Is there a link to this, as when you go to https://careers.virginmedia.com/apply/. It says there are no field engineer jobs across the whole country?

    If you filter by apprentice there are 46 roles under ‘Field Engineer Apprentice’ I guess some locations are looking for more than 1

    Mark,

    These apprentices will eventually be service technicians, so won’t be helping role out the network as such, but will be installing/fault fixing at the customer premises

    Thanks
