The Opportunity
We are looking for an experienced EAD Circuit Designer to join a critical telecoms delivery programme for working for our client.
This is not a standard network design role. You will be designing Ethernet Access Direct (EAD) circuits into electricity substation environments, where access constraints, EMI, Earth Potential Rise (EPR), and cabinet specifications are key considerations.
If you have experience designing BT/Openreach EAD or leased-line circuits into complex or controlled sites, and you understand what it takes to deliver into utility environments, we want to hear from you.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What You'll Be Doing
- Design EAD / Ethernet access circuits for SPEN substation locations.
- Interpret BT/Openreach survey outputs, task sheets, and site constraints.
- Assess circuit feasibility considering EMI, EMC, EPR, fibre/copper suitability, and access limitations.
- Specify EMC cabinets (45U), ventilation, gland plates, cable entry, and site-specific requirements.
- Produce practical HLD / LLD / implementation design packs and as-built documentation.
- Identify and escalate design gaps, site-readiness issues, and delivery risks early.
- Ensure designs are ready for Acceptance Into Live Support (AILS).
What You'll Bring
Mandatory Experience
- Hands-on experience designing BT/Openreach EAD, Ethernet access, or leased-line circuits.
- Strong understanding of the BT/Openreach delivery lifecycle (survey, order validation, provisioning, wayleaves, site readiness).
- Ability to produce implementation-ready design packs (HLDs, LLDs, as-built documentation).
- Experience interpreting site surveys, task sheets, and technical constraints.
- Strong documentation discipline and stakeholder coordination skills.
