Network Engineers are the specialists that go out in our Virgin Media O2 vans and look after our network. They work on the latest technology advancements to install and repair our services in business customer sites as well as look after the process from the street side cabinets or poles all the way back to our technical sites.  This team plays a key part in supporting seamless connectivity, for all those late-night gaming sessions, streaming films with the family, and connecting 45 million mobile connections across the nation.

Build skills for the future
Working in the Field Engineering & Operations division, you’ll work on street cabinets, poles and in network sites, fixing and maintaining our services to ensure smooth delivery to our business and residential customers. There are plenty of opportunities to learn and grow within our engineering community.  

This isn’t your typical field work. You’ll be playing a bigger part in communities, just as we did during the pandemic by connecting the UK’s NHS Nightingale Hospitals, helping to save thousands of lives. You’ll help us drive sustainability objectives through reducing our carbon footprint by using electric vehicles and switching to greener power sources and technology. Be responsible for keeping neighborhoods, businesses and the emergency services connected and play a meaningful part.
