* Likes working with tools, helping with DIY projects, or fixing things around the house.
* Enjoys building models, coding, or experimenting with technology.
* Loves getting stuck into real-world, practical challenges rather than just learning from books.

This role is for our Mechanical and Electrical Power and Infrastructure Planning Engineers who design and build the environments that keep BT’s networks operating 24/7, 365 days a year.

The qualifications you’ll need: Two A-Levels with a minimum of CC grades. You’ll also need a minimum of five GCSEs at grades 4-9 (C or above) including English and Maths, with Maths at B or higher. An understanding of basic engineering principles would be preferred. Full UK Driving Licence required as this is not a desk job. You will be travelling between sites.
The skills you’ll need:
* Growth mindset
* Analytical thinking
* Proactivity
After this apprenticeship: You will have developed the skills, knowledge, and confidence to join a regional team, planning and delivering network critical infrastructure that supports our national internet and telephone services.
