Customer Engineer

If you’re a natural people-person – someone who enjoys helping solve problems – this customer-facing role will fit perfectly around your life.

As our Customer Engineer you’ll visit business customers across your area to help them stay connected and get the best out of our services.

So, what’s the job exactly?

Check out our Customer Engineer page here to watch a video bringing to life what our Engineers do in a typical day.

We’re not looking for engineering experience, it’s really about customer service. You definitely won’t be digging, lifting or climbing telegraph poles.

As part of our Field Service family, you’ll visit a whole host of our business customers from small to large – anything from pet shops, coffee shops, hairdressers, warehouses and banks – who’ve contacted us for help with their broadband and network connections.

The engineer was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. They knew there stuff and got me up and running in no time at all, BT Customer.

You’ll listen carefully to our customers’ problems and carry out some initial fault-finding. If there’s a simple fix, you’ll sort it there and then – for example:

• Restarting a router.
• Checking Wi-Fi signal strength to find the best set-up.
• Running an extension or moving equipment.
• Showing a customer how to use an app.
• Setting up phone solutions,
• Keeping our mobile 5G network running,
• Maintaining BTs fixed network
• Surveying customer sites including drone surveys (we’ll train you up)
• Most importantly, joining the dots – spotting ways we could improve the service we’re offering and reporting that back to the team.

If you can’t easily fix the issue, you’ll escalate it to one of our specialist teams and make sure your customer knows what will happen next. You’ll help get things back on track for our customers.

No technical experience? We welcome people with no technical experience however we’d be looking for your demonstrable customer service, problem solving and technical learning mindset. Where we receive an exceptional volume of applications relevant skills and experience will take priority.

We’ll provide your daily schedule, a uniform, laptop, mobile and a van to get you out to customers. All you need is a valid manual UK driving licence, a 90-minute travel requirement is expected, hence the need for a driver license being essential.

Beyond that, we look for natural people skills, can do attitude, and enthusiasm to learn - maybe you’re the first person your family call if the Wi-Fi isn’t working?!

Things to love about the role

Hear from Hannah one of our Customer Engineers, “I love the variety of work that comes my way, no two days are the same and each day is a new challenge which always keeps things interesting”.

• It’s a job you can switch off from at the end of the day.
