Network Maintenance Manager (FEX, FAC & CoLo)

This hybrid role offers a great balance of home and office working. You’ll join your colleagues in your our offices at least 2 days a week.

As the UK’s largest fibre-only network, and its only proven wholesale challenger, we’re busy setting new standards for what digital infrastructure can and should be.

Designed from scratch for the internet, our network is greener, more reliable and ready for the future. The products we provide over it not only lead the market on speed, value and service, they help businesses to innovate, provide entire communities with a better foundation for their digital lives and support economic growth, locally and nationally.

What does that mean for you? The opportunity to make internet connections (and daily life) a whole lot better, for a lot of people!

Joining us as a Network Maintenance Manager (FEX, FAC & CoLo)

We’re looking for a Network Maintenance Manager to lead the coordination and delivery of robust maintenance programs and audit routines across our Fibre Exchange (FEx), Fibre Active Cabinets (FAC), and CoLo sites.

This role is pivotal in ensuring service continuity and operational excellence through strong Mechanical & Electrical (M&E) Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM), reactive maintenance, and Building Management Systems (BMS) expertise.

You’ll receive a competitive salary, a car allowance, a performance related bonus, and a range of benefits to support you across your financial, physical and mental wellbeing.

This is some of what you can expect to be doing:

• Lead the delivery of M&E maintenance programs across a diverse estate, ensuring minimal service disruption
• Optimise and manage BMS systems to monitor infrastructure performance and enable data-driven decisions
• Collaborate with internal teams and delivery partners to ensure accurate scheduling and execution of PPM and reactive maintenance
• Identify and resolve supplier performance issues, driving operational and financial efficiencies
• Produce detailed weekly reports on progress, risks, costs, and compliance

What you’ll bring to the role

We’re specifically looking for candidates with strong hands-on experience in M&E PPM, reactive maintenance, and BMS systems — areas where we’ve seen gaps in previous applicants. You’ll also need:

• A proven track record in delivering small to medium-scale works and managing multi-million-pound budgets
• Strong leadership and stakeholder engagement skills
• Proficiency in project and budget management fundamentals
• A pragmatic, problem-solving mindset with a focus on continuous improvement
• Full UK Driving Licence
