Trainee Communications Engineer - Oldham

We are hiring Communications Engineers to join our friendly, inclusive team. Enjoy a competitive salary starting at £26,288 (up to £33,000 OTE and £3000 London Weighting Allowance for those based within M25), 30-35 days holiday, and a supportive work environment with great career growth opportunities. No experience needed—full training provided! If you have a UK driving license and basic DIY skills, apply today to start your journey with us.

What it’s like to be a Communications Engineer:

• You’ll receive your own company van, and once fully trained, you’ll be self-sufficient - travelling from home to your planned jobs each day.
• While the vast majority of your work will be carried out alone, there will also be occasional jobs that require a two-person team.
• When you arrive at each job you’ll install or fix issues with communications devices on our automated gas or electricity meters.
• You’ll be given high levels of autonomy in your role and be responsible for your own:

• Personal stock management - re-stocking your van and returning old stock via a personal drop-box facility or local store.
• Timekeeping - making sure you turn up to planned jobs in plenty of time.
• Safety and the safety of those around you - you’ll receive full ongoing training and support in relation to all aspects of health and safety on the job.
• Customer service approach - representing and protecting our strong Energy Assets brand name.

What it takes to become one of our Communications Engineers:

• No experience is necessary - although we’d naturally welcome applications from experienced Communications Engineers too.
• You’ll need a full UK driving license, so you can get about in your own van.
• You’ll need to be comfortable using a mobile phone too - since all of the logistics for your day will be co-ordinated using a company provided mobile.
• The role requires no heavy lifting; generally, we find it’s well suited to candidates who have some basic DIY skills or who enjoy fixing or building things.
• You’ll need good communication skills as you’ll have short interactions directly with customers at each job and be required to liaise with colleagues across our wider business.
• You’ll need to undergo a basic DBS check and we undertake random drug and alcohol tests.

Working with us you will benefit from:

• A competitive compensation package - you’ll receive a competitive salary starting of £26,814, on target earnings (OTE) of up to £33,000, plus the opportunity to receive an annual performance-based bonus. £3000 London Weighting Allowance within M25 and surrounding area.
• Work-life balance - you’ll benefit from 30 days holiday, which increases each year to a maximum of 35 days.
• Critical injury scheme - we take safety at work very seriously. There are high levels of risk mitigation in place to keep everyone safe.
• Down to earth and welcoming culture - you’ll be part of a friendly, welcoming, and diverse team.
• Future career opportunity - as we’re a large organisation covering end-to-end, meter-to-main solutions, there’s lots of opportunity to grow and progress your future utilities career further.
