Business and Corporate Delivery Fibre Jointer Review

My job title is a fibre jointer, on a daily basis I install and connect networks for businesses. This varies from small business to large corporate enterprises. I interact with customers every day, ensuring they know exactly what the process is and the timescale involved. As part of my responsibility I have to make sure every step has been taken to connect the customer and if the original plan cannot be completed, I have to try and think of an alternative strategy so the customer is not affected. All the networks I install use fibre and the latest technology, so being up to date with training is essential.

I Have learnt many new skills whilst been in the role. The company has sent me on multiple training courses which help me carry out my role. These courses have included learning how to carry out certain tasks, to how to complete the job safely.

We have a brilliant team work ethic and if you are struggling with your job, or you are unsure how to carry out a task, then your colleagues/help is only a phone call away. Everyone will gladly give up time to help you or show you how to correctly do the job. The programme I am on has exceeded my expectations as I did not realise how much help is available to you to make sure you succeed in your career.

I feel I am an important member of the BT group. One example I have of this is when I had completed a job which had been ongoing for over a year, my manager took me for a breakfast to say thank you. You also as an employee, receive a bonus if your team is reaching targets on a monthly basis.

When starting the company you receive a brilliant induction and from that moment you know where you stand and what is expected of you. During your first month you attend vigorous training course, this is to bring you up to speed with basic skills and safety training.

I have a day once a month to attend an NVQ day. This is to give me the help and support required to complete the apprenticeship.

I always feel I receive the right support from BT as a whole. If I am struggling I can either call a colleague or my line manager and can explain the problem. They will either allocate someone to come and help you or in certain cases you can send the job back.

The salary goes up every year for the time of your apprenticeship so as you come more qualified your salary will indicate the same. Travel costs are covered as you drive a company van.

There are many social events and activities you can par take in.

Yes

When you start with the company you will realise that it is not just a job, it is a career for life. There are so many avenues you can go down to suit your ambitions/expectations and you will receive all the help and advise needed to reach your goals. Most people you speak to will say they have worked for BT for a long time, this is because there isn't many other companies who will give you the support and help needed.

If you do get to the interview stage, do a lot of planning to make sure you stand out. They will provide you with information what the interview/assessment day will include. Do a lot of research into the company and find out some interesting facts.
