Service Management Professional - ESN

Location: Bristol or London (you would need to be in the office at least 3 days a week)

About the role

The purpose of Mobile Test & Innovations Labs is to design, integrate/build, test, and deliver market-leading converged Mobile and Fixed network services. The success of the function is based upon delivering stable, best in class, converged services using the latest technologies – transforming our network with 5G and Network Function Virtualisation. We are innovators who make future services happen.

The Service Management Team Service Reliability Professional supports the operation and continuous improvement of core ITIL processes including Incident, Defect, Change/Configuration, Asset, and Release Management within Mobile Innovation Lab test environments.

You will work closely with process leads, service owners, and Service Reliability Specialists to support the digitisation and automation of service management workflows using OSS tools and modern automation techniques.

A key aspect of this role is contributing to automation and process improvement activities to reduce manual effort and improve efficiency. You will use tools such as ServiceNow, Jira, and workflow or scripting technologies (e.g. APIs, Python) to help streamline operational tasks and support service visibility.

You will develop a core area of knowledge while gaining exposure across multiple ITIL processes. You will assist in root cause analysis (RCA) for service-impacting issues and support resolution activities. You will also help identify opportunities to reduce repetitive manual work (TOIL) through automation and improved processes.

You will be technically curious and keen to build your understanding of telecoms and OSS environments. An awareness of mobile networks, call flows, or lab environments is beneficial but not essential. You will work collaboratively with stakeholders and show a willingness to learn and improve how services are delivered.

Experience or exposure to OSS tools, monitoring systems, and automation concepts is desirable. An interest in technologies such as APIs, workflows, or event-driven automation will support your development in the role.

You will contribute to maintaining service availability and supporting a high-quality experience for BT/EE Innovation Lab customers, while developing your skills in service management and automation.

This role offers a strong development pathway into OSS, automation, and mobile engineering, as the industry continues to evolve towards software-defined and highly automated network environments.
