Broadband provider Gigaclear is set to boost its engineering capacity and expand its employee base by over 20% with plans to hire 120 full-time field engineers by the end of March 2021.
The recruitment drive is designed to improve the rural broadband provider’s technical skills, accelerate build speeds and increase agility.
Nathan Rundle, Delivery Director at Gigaclear, stated: “We’re recruiting externally at a time when many other businesses are putting staff on furlough and making redundancies.
"It goes to show how fundamentally essential our work is as we continue to expand our network, helping families to stay in touch, allowing people to work from home, keeping communities connected, and more.
“Investing in our in-house field engineering team will help us become more responsive and also drive standards by setting a benchmark for our contractors to match in terms of quality and customer experience."
