Job Description
This role is based in our Milton Keynes office 4 days a week, with the option to work from home on Fridays.
As the UK’s largest fibre-only network, and its only proven wholesale challenger, we’re busy setting new standards for what digital infrastructure can and should be.

What does that mean for you? The opportunity to make internet connections (and daily life) a whole lot better, for a lot of people!
