Ultrafast broadband is coming to the South West

Homes and businesses in Bristol and Plymouth are to benefit from the roll out of ultrafast broadband services, as new fibre connections begin to be installed from early in 2021. The installation of new communications infrastructure for faster internet access will provide a much-needed boost to the local economy, improving productivity and innovation, as well as supporting new technologies for home entertainment and social interaction.

UK critical infrastructure firm Telent will be installing the ultrafast, ultrareliable ‘full fibre’ connections and is looking for an array of reliable and dedicated people to help build this new network. Installing broadband networks requires a range of different skills and several new roles are being created. There are currently roles available for telecoms engineers, project and delivery managers and field surveyors. Training is available for anyone not from a telecoms background and looking towards a new career with a leading company in one of the UK’s fastest growing and dynamic industries”.

Telent’s Infrastructure Services Managing Director, Ric Welsby, said: “We are delighted to be bringing ultrafast fibre broadband to the South West. The pandemic has demonstrated the critical nature of fast and reliable broadband and Telent is extremely proud to be playing a part in the roll out of this important national infrastructure.”

“Over the next few years improved broadband services will be delivered to millions of homes and businesses across the UK – you can be part of the team making it happen with Telent. Training is provided, so even if you’ve not worked in telecoms before we would love to hear from you. Telent is an independent, profitable, thriving business with a promising future. We offer great flexibility, above average pay and excellent benefits”, Mr Welsby continued.
