Day in the Life of a Virgin Media Field Technician

Field Technicians – the people who dazzle our customers every day, by installing or fixing products in their homes and offering them expert advice.

We’re well-connected

As of 1 June 2021, Virgin Media and O2 have joined forces to become Virgin Media O2. Our ambition is to upgrade the UK using lightning-fast broadband and a fantastic 5G mobile network. We employ around 18,000 people who are committed to going the extra mile for our customers.

We’re excited about our future. Right now, we’re growing every part of our business to connect even more customers to the things and people they care about. We’re also continuing to expand our network, delivering the UK’s fastest available broadband speed to more customers than ever before. We’re excited about your future too. Our schemes are designed to give graduates and interns (that’s you) the knowledge, skills, experience, and exposure they need to make it big at Virgin Media and beyond. There are lots of amazing opportunities on offer. From technology and innovation to finance or sales. Whichever you choose, you’ll learn how to lead with purpose, live our values, and help build connections that really matter. We’re 100% committed to having a workforce that represents every part of our society. So, we’re keen to hear from candidates of all background and circumstances.

Testimonials

  • I would strongly recommend an apprenticeship to anyone

    I would strongly recommend an apprenticeship to anyone, whether you are a hands-on learner or more academically focussed.
  • There are many more doors for you to open

    As an apprentice, once you’ve opened one door, there are many more doors for you to open.
  • The investment that Virgin Media makes into apprentices is second to none

    The investment that Virgin Media makes into apprentices is second to none and I would never hesitate to recommend them as an employer.
Completing an apprenticeship at Virgin Media opened new doors for me, allowing me to work and be involved with something on a daily basis that I really enjoy, I take pride in what I do and would recommend joining Virgin Media to anyone. At Virgin Media we take a lot of pride in working as a team and always being there for someone, whether they are stuck with something and need a second opinion, or to lend a helping hand if they are running late.
