BT Group has announced plans to hire nearly 50 apprentices and graduates in Bristol as part of its September 2023 intake. The telecoms giant said it would be recruiting across its cyber security, network engineering and data analysis departments as it looked to support the UK's digital sectors.
The new hires will also be involved in the company’s plans to build and extend its 5G network around the country. The 47 positions will be based at BT's new office near Bristol Temple Meads station, which is due to open formally next month. There will be 31 new graduates and 16 new apprentices joining the business.
The announcement comes just days after BT confirmed it has started to move staff into its vast new offices in Bristol. The 13-storey waterfront building, Assembly Bristol, will become a hub for up to 2,500 employees.
