Looking to move into a fast-growing industry with full training provided? We’re looking for practical, organised, detail-focused people to join our network build team as a Build Assurance Engineer.

WHO WE ARE
At GoFibre we’re on an exciting journey to revolutionise broadband capabilities for homes and businesses in rural towns and villages across Scotland and the north of England, connecting communities and affording them digital capability equal to their city counterparts; whilst being as environmentally conscious as possible, and creating social value in the areas we serve.
Our story is only just beginning. We’re growing fast and we don’t intend to slow down anytime soon as we play our part in ensuring future-proof full fibre coverage. We continue to raise investment for our infrastructure, service and people through our top-notch partnerships, and we’re confident and enthusiastic about what is coming next for the GoFibre family, as we strive to connect hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses. We have fantastic offices to allow colleagues to connect and catch up, one in central Edinburgh (with stunning 360 views of the city) and another in the coastal town of Berwick Upon Tweed; both a short walk from transport links.
HOW WE WORK
Collaboration, innovation, commitment, continual improvement of our business and ourselves, are the cornerstones of what creates our collective success. No two days are the same; the landscape is constantly changing, and we think on our feet, move fast and tackle challenges and opportunities head on. We’re always learning and we thrive under pressure, because we support one another and have some laughs along the way. We’re all in this together, as we navigate the road less travelled, pushing the boundaries of what we can deliver and the professionals we can become. We take care of each other and care about work-life balance and wellbeing.

WHAT YOU WILL BE WORKING ON
This is an opportunity to move into a growing infrastructure industry without needing telecoms experience. We’ll train you technically, but your safety mindset and practical experience are what matter most. You’ll play a key role in ensuring our network is built right, first time, and safely for the communities we serve.
- Attending active build sites and acting as the GoFibre on-site representative
- Overseeing contractor activity to ensure safe systems of work are followed
- Inspect completed works to ensure they meet required standards
- Check safety compliance on site
- Identify issues and work with build partners to resolve them
- Capture accurate reports, photos and documentation
- Be the eyes and ears of the business during network build
WHAT YOU WILL BRING TO THE ROLE
We’re more interested in transferable skills than industry background. You might come from construction, civils, utilities, facilities management, rail, highways, the armed forces, or any environment where safety and compliance are critical.
- Confident managing and influencing contractors on site
- Experience overseeing external suppliers or subcontractors
- Extensive knowledge of site safety and risk management
- Ability to assess, audit and challenge working practices professionally
- A full UK driving licence
We love that everybody is different, and we believe a diverse workforce will be our strength. We ensure equal opportunity, champion inclusion and we actively encourage applications from suitably qualified candidates regardless of age, disability, gender, race, religion or orientation. Together, we’re all part of the rich GoFibre family and we’re unified by our goals, inspiring our teams to challenge the norm and deliver best-in-class service to our customers, all whilst encouraging and appreciating one another.
