Construction Recruitment and Training Programme

We need thousands of people to help build our networks and be part of upgrading the UK’s digital infrastructure. Opportunities are available for experienced construction workers as well as those seeking career changes and training opportunities. We’re working hard to attract more women and individuals from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) backgrounds, both of which are significantly under-represented in the construction industry.

 

Full training will be provided for roles including: aerial fibre operatives, underground cabling operatives, fibre engineers and civils operatives. Jobs will be created within CityFibre’s growing pool of network construction partners. Each construction partner is responsible for delivering against contracts that will run for up to 7 years. This means long term opportunities for those who complete the selection and training process.

We’re running the screening and training stages of the programme in order to help provide our network construction partners with the workforce they need.

 

Following a successful initial interview, full training will be provided by one of our specialist partners at a regional training centre. Recruits will receive professional qualifications including selected overhead and underground PIA accreditation. They’ll also receive training for other qualifications including NRSWA Civils and CityFibre’s own technical training certification (awarded via NCFE). Subject to final stages, those who secure the required qualifications will go on to work with one of our construction partners.
