£33,000–£36,000 per annum + allowances.

As an ESN Engineer, you will own a designated group of sites, working as part of a four‑person team covering adjacent territories. The role requires you to be self‑managing, proactively maintaining your sites and collaborating closely with other ESN engineers and the wider FSO team to solve problems, with the goal of boosting network resilience and availability.
