Role Purpose
The Customer Service Engineer delivers safe, right-first-time full-fibre installations and restores customer services across G.Network's FTTP estate. The role combines the core disciplines previously undertaken by installation and repair engineers, creating a consistent customer engineering role with clear technical specialisms. Engineers normally hold a primary specialism in Installation or Repair and Service Recovery, with the opportunity to develop the adjacent specialism through approved training, supervised practice and assessment.
