Reporting includes required deliverables as well as system and data compliance, i.e. ensuring accurate, quality and timely system notes which are required for the progression of key information which ensures an excellent client experience
- You will be a technical expert in, and have accreditation for, all Customer Build tools, equipment, materials and delivery processes and methodologies (i.e. building installation, inter-building connectivity and backhaul). You will be expected to contribute to site delivery when required – i.e. supervising migrations of circuits or firestopping
- Embedding change into the delivery teams
- Delivering an excellent customer, client and stakeholder experience
