What you’ll do

As a Field Engineer at VodafoneThree, you’ll be at the heart of delivering a high-quality, customer-focused field engineering service, supporting and assuring Scottish Power’s strategic telecommunications network across Scotland, including key interfaces with SSEN and National Grid.
