Customer Voice and Internet fulfilment 

You play a core role in ensuring that customer’s services are successfully deployed by: 

• Monitoring failure queues and implementing immediate fixes , investigating issues that impact customer experience (e.g., latency, drops, congestion failures) 

• Working with engineering, design, and ops teams to implement permanent fixes or mitigations for root causes, and supporting proactive maintenance to prevent faults before they occur 

In-Life assurance & customer impact analysis 

For highly complex issues, you act as the voice of the customer by: 

• Incident triage, rectification and technical diagnosis and then prioritising and applying fixes based on severity and number of customers affected 

• Driving improvements that increase reliability and reduce repeat faults                 

CrossTeam Collaboration 

A major part of the role involves collaborating with: 

• Design & engineering, service operations & field teams, suppliers/vendors and customer service teams to ensure reliability commitments are met. 

What you'll bring

• Previous experience of handling complex Broadband and/or fixed line Voice faults. 

• Educated in a technical computer/engineering subject  

• Understanding IP Networks, basic routing and how they are used to deliver services to customers. This will include an understanding of ADSL, FTTP, FTTC, and associated technologies. 

• Excellent people skills and high emotional intelligence - needs to have great empathy with customers. 

• Analytical, logical problem solver, prepared to be flexible in the methods used to solve customer problems (to deviate from the "script" where necessary to ensure an effective and timely resolution to faults). 

• A real interest and curiosity in getting to the bottom of complex technical issues and further building and sharing your personal knowledge with other members of the team. 

Team overview

The Customer Network Reliability Team plays a key role in ensuring our customers receive faultfree, highquality connectivity across Internet and Talk services. Our team is responsible for diagnosing and resolving both provision issues and inlife faults across a wide range of technologies — from Ethernet business lines to copper and fibre products. 

We operate at the intersection of major network events and individual customer issues, bridging the gap between networkwide challenges and the frontline customer service teams who manage singlecustomer faults. This means you’ll need to communicate effectively across multiple departments, regions, and technical levels, combining strong collaboration skills with deep technical expertise.
