A bit about your role

A bit about you 

If this sounds like the role for you, it’s likely you bring strong experience in a Civil or Telecommunications Field Operations environment, with a solid understanding of telecommunications construction and activation methodologies. You’re knowledgeable in copper and fibre technologies and their installation processes, and ideally have hands-on experience in field engineering—particularly troubleshooting during testing phases and resolving exchange-related issues.

Your ability to effectively engage with customers and stakeholders, especially when delivering technical or construction briefings, sets you apart. You’re confident in coaching and upskilling Delivery Partner (DP) crews and supervisors, fostering a culture of continuous improvement. Experience in aerial network construction is considered a significant asset, as is familiarity with NSW-specific legislation and operational practices.

You’re a strong communicator who can guide, mentor, and motivate team members while building solid relationships with internal and external stakeholders. You collaborate effectively with other safety and quality team members to maintain a consistent and aligned approach, and you’re adept at engaging with customers and community representatives to address any quality-related concerns.
