A genuine interest in networking and emerging technologies will help you get the most out of the role, and you'll be motivated to continue developing your technical skills and expanding your knowledge. Training and development When you join, you'll complete a structured induction within the Network Capability Centre, giving you a broad understanding of the networks, systems and technologies that the team designs, builds and supports. Development is practical and continuous. You'll build your capability by working alongside experienced engineers on live systems, contributing to real projects from the outset. This is complemented by access to internal and external training, including core networking courses, specialist technologies and industry recognised certifications such as Cisco. Support is provided within a collaborative team environment, with a buddy to help with getting started and mentors to guide your ongoing development. As skills grow, there are opportunities to move across teams and technologies, broadening your experience and building a well rounded and rewarding career in network engineering.
