    Description

    Role


    Telecoms Engineer in the Highlands & Islands of Scotland

    Location


    Fort William, Skye, Inverness (you must be located within 1 hour travel to these locations, we are only looking at applicants currently based within travel to these locations. If this is opened up to candidates looking to relocate we will update this in the future.)

    Why this Role Matters


    As a Telecoms Engineer in the Highlands and Islands, you'll play a crucial role in connecting some of Scotland's most remote and hard-to-reach communities to full fibre broadband. Your work directly supports local economies, helps people access jobs and services without needing to relocate, and ensures that no community is left behind in the UK's digital future.

    This is more than just an engineering role, it's about making a real difference. Whether you're crossing rugged terrain, navigating island coastlines, or climbing hillsides, you'll be delivering the infrastructure and connections that keeps people and businesses connected, wherever they are.

    What You'll Be Doing


    You'll be part of a dynamic and skilled field team, working hands-on to build, maintain, install and repair fibre connections across the Highlands and Islands. Every day brings new challenges and opportunities, from engineering solutions in the most remote corners of Scotland to supporting local customers face to face.

    You'll work independently and as part of a wider team, using your technical expertise and creativity to overcome both the engineering and environmental demands of the landscape. Your work will help power rural innovation and give people the freedom to live and work where they choose, without compromise.

    What We're Looking For

    • A strong customer-first attitude, with a passion for solving problems and delivering high standards
    • Clear, confident communication, with the ability to collaborate across teams and share your knowledge
    • A respected and trusted role model who leads by example
    • Adaptability and resilience to work in changing, remote, or outdoor environments
    • A safety-first mindset, always looking out for yourself and others
    • Motivation for personal development and a willingness to grow and support others
    • Experience working in rural, isolated, or challenging environments is a strong plus

    Benefits

    • 10% on target bonus
    • BT Pension scheme, minimum 5% Employee contribution, BT contribution 10%
    • Equal family leave: receive 18 weeks at full pay, 8 weeks at half pay and 26 weeks at the statutory rate. It's for all parents, no matter how your family is made up.
    • Enhanced women's health support: including help with menopause symptoms, cancer screenings, period care and more.
    • 22 days annual leave (not including bank holidays), increasing with service
    • 24/7 private virtual GP appointments for UK colleagues
    • 2 weeks carer's leave
    • World-class training and development opportunities
    • Option to join BT Shares Saving schemes.
