About Sky
The Customer Network Reliability Team plays a key role in ensuring our customers receive fault free, high quality connectivity across Internet and Talk services. Our team is responsible for diagnosing and resolving both provision issues and in life 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 network wide challenges and the front line customer service teams who manage single customer faults. This means you’ll need to communicate effectively across multiple departments, regions, and technical levels, combining strong collaboration skills with deep technical expertise.

From broadband to broadcast, streaming to mobile, SkyQ to Sky Glass, we never stand still. We optimise and innovate. We turn big ideas into the products, content and services millions of people love. And we do it all right here at Sky.
