  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • To be honest I am still finding it out. However from what I know so far it is building and maintaining the Openreach network. I work as a fibre jointer.

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • Many. How to climb a pole, tetra set up, how to use a drill, how to splice fibre, how to introduce cables into a nod. The list goes on. It’s been fantastic however also mentally and physically hard.

  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • I love it. It’s been hard and everything I’m told is something I have not known before but this is how I learn and grow not just as an engineer but as a person.

  • 9a. Would you recommend BT Group to a friend?
  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • I have currently recommended two friends to join and they are currently in the application process. Openreach is a fantastic company where it can be a career with brilliant training,staff,facilities and benefits. It also gives you skills you wouldn’t get elsewhere and a better understanding of the network.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to BT Group?
  • Work hard and it will pay off. Pay attention and listen. No question is ever a stupid question. It’s not easy but then again nothing in life is easy. It will be worth it in the end
