Openreach engineer Review

The vast majority of the day, is spent ensuring that the path of the planned fibre is sound, and can be, and is clear. This enables the insertion of various forms of fibre optic cables

Much, mostly about the uses of the now updated copper network, and the vastly superior fibre being rolled out. Including how this gets from the exchange to the customer, companies etc

It’s the best job I’ve ever had, not the best pay maybe, but the job where I get a level if satisfaction is not previously experienced in the workplace

It can often be confusing as to whom you are getting a job from, and this changes sporadicly throughout the working week. But the higher ups all know what they’re doing, I’ve always felt like the managers are a quality group.

In this I can’t say enough, just amazing, I don’t get this lever of support from my family. It is impossible to feel anything other than at home in this job, it’s the way a job should be.

Good, always available and always happy to help, quick to reply. What more could you need

It did help think about the role, though personally the hands on of the job was more vital to my journey than the classroom/ theoretical part, but it certainly helped

Not directly, but we’re all friendly and often meet for this or that outside work hours

Yes

Never felt more at home in a job in my 20 plus years in the working world,

Ask often, if you have a question ask it, trust me they’re there to help, and they will. Be safe, and enjoy your journey to become an openreach engineer.
