Description
About us:
Wifinity was founded in 2007 to solve a problem—our armed forces were struggling with reliable connectivity. While living in barracks, often in remote locations, ordering a landline and booking in an engineer just wasn't an option.
And that problem isn't exclusive to the military, either. Students living in University accommodation, families visiting holiday resorts, or living in shared accommodation and retirement communities.
Conventional home broadband doesn't always work for them.
Wifinity is different. We offer the same benefits as traditional broadband, such as super-fast speeds, WiFi, and secure and private networks, but none of the downsides. We even offer Pay As You Go and flexible contracts, so customers only pay for what they need without hefty penalties or long contract terms.
We take the complexity out of connectivity.
The opportunity:
The Network Assurance Engineer is part of our Network Operations Centre (NOC) playing a key part in establishing and maintaining our customer network.
Key areas of focus:
The Network Assurance Engineer will provide outstanding service focussed on proactively establishing and maintaining our network for our valued customer base.
Joining our Network Operations team, you will be responsible for providing support to multiple UK wide networks. This role is part of a team that provides 24/7 customer support all year round including public holidays.
You will work with public and private cloud services, large enterprise wired and wireless network infrastructures through to end user troubleshooting.
Your day-to-day role will consist of the following responsibilities, you may be required to carry out further responsibilities at the company's discretion.
