You’ll be the person that installs our amazing products and services into people’s homes, small businesses, and home offices. Setting up Broadband, TV and phone, you’ll make sure the customer can get the very best out of our products and services. Don’t worry, you don’t need any previous technical experience to apply, as we’ll give you all the training you need to succeed.

Virgin Media have a long and proud history of serving the community with products and services which enable people to stay connected. We offer the full kit and caboodle – Broadband, TV services and mobile – to ensure our customers have access to the very latest tech.

The Field Technician role is open to everyone – simple. We know that women are currently under-represented in our team of Field Techs, and we want to change that. As an employer, we’re committed to making sure that everybody feels free and empowered to bring – and be – their whole self at work. We’re proud to have a wonderfully diverse customer base, and it’s important to us that our teams reflect the communities we serve. Our mission is to create belonging across our people, our products, our customers & in society as a whole.

Throughout the year, you’ll have 31 Saturdays off, and you’ll never work on Sundays (unless overtime is available). Where we need you to work on a Saturday, we won’t schedule Customer visits after 6pm.

Training

When you join, you’ll be given comprehensive training in the role, and as well as on-going support - you can trust us to do the right thing by you. No two days are the same, which means you’ll always be learning and finding new challenges to get stuck in to.

The must haves:

  • A UK Manual driving licence with no more than 8 points
  • Your health and safety is important to us, due to the amount of time you will be required to spend driving to visit customers we need to ensure that you live close to the areas you’ll be responsible for, with that in mind, you must live within one of the following postcodes: SL0, SL1, SL2, SL3, SL4, SL6, TW1, TW3, TW4, TW5, TW7, TW8,TW13, TW14, TW15, TW16, TW17, TW18, TW19, TW20, UB3, UB2, UB4, UB7, UB8, UB9, UB10, W3, W4, HA4, HA5, HA6, GU25
