A bit about your role

As a Trainee Customer Field Technician based in Sydney, you’ll undertake a 12-month traineeship with all the development opportunities and support you need to build your skills and career as you go (from coaching and mentoring to a nationally recognised Cert III qualification in Telecommunications).

From here, you’ll experience a diverse and dynamic working environment where no two days out in the field are alike. Supported by our dedicated and caring managers and skilled, experienced, and collaborative colleagues you will build your skills and confidence. Whether you’re out in the network performing inspections or maintenance, diagnosing, and resolving faults, to providing the best service or connecting more homes and businesses to high-speed fibre, you’ll encounter new experiences around every corner and opportunities to learn and grow at every step.

A bit about you

To get the most out of this traineeship, you’ll likely have an inquisitive mind and an eagerness to learn, a positive attitude and a driver’s license. A passion for customer service, an appetite for working independently and at pace will set you up for even more success. We’ll support you with developing your skills and will provide the training and guidance you need on the job in a safe, supportive, and flexible environment while you get paid.
