Join O2 Business as a 2nd Line Business Response Engineer and play a central role in keeping business customers connected. Based within our Network Operations Centre team, you’ll provide advanced technical support, take ownership of complex incidents, and help ensure critical services remain available and performing at their best. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys solving technical challenges, working collaboratively, and making a real impact on customer experience.
Working in a fast-paced operational environment, you’ll troubleshoot and resolve escalated network and service issues, carry out proactive monitoring and health checks, and collaborate closely with specialist teams and external partners. You’ll also identify service trends, contribute to continuous improvement initiatives, support the development of colleagues, and help maintain the high standards of service our O2 Business customers expect.
Who we are
At Virgin Media O₂, we connect people to the moments that matter most. Virgin Media leads the UK for broadband reliability, speed and overall performance, while O₂ keeps people connected on the move with award-winning coverage.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Next steps
If this feels like a place where you can belong, we’d love to see what you can do. Once you apply, the next steps might include a call with a recruiter, a video interview, an interview with the hiring manager and a task or assessment.
We’ll also ask about any adjustments you might need, and we’ll do our best to make them happen.
We review applications and interview throughout the advert window, so it’s worth applying sooner rather than later. If you’re offered the role, the offer will be subject to background checks, including a criminal record check and, for some roles, a financial background check.
