21C & 20C Transmission Design

Why this role matters

This role is an integral part of a team that produces cost optimised quality designs for the timely delivery of core transmission infrastructure in order to meet customer orders, new element testing/introduction and forecasted network demand. You will act as a supplier to OpenReach around the Ethernet Backhaul network designs/capacity, supporting building closure programme and devising cost saving initiatives and solutions around the existing core network and any new network elements/vendors.

Skills You'll have

The role will require:

• A high level of knowledge around BT’s networks (legacy and strategic) and cable design.
• DV clearance
• In depth knowledge of the following BT systems, including an insight in to how the records translate into the physical world.
  • INS
  • BERT
  • rPACS
• Ability to design networks and cable allocation designs to meet regulatory and architectural requirements/timescales.
• High level of self-management, including prioritisation of own workflows.

Experience You'll have

• There is no formal training available for this, outside system specific training, so a good knowledge of BT’s transmission and cable layers are a prerequisite for this role. Virtually all “top up” training will be on the job, either face to face or via Teams.
• The ability to pass a full DV check is mandatory.
• The time required to meet an acceptable level of competence in this role is hard to assess due to the huge variety of the workflow, it is very dependent on the initial capability of any new person to this role, but will probably be in the region of 12-18 months.
