Openreach says it is creating 160 jobs across the East Midlands this year after what it said had been a record period for hiring female engineers.
The tech giant said all but 15 of the new roles would be apprentices, needed to help with its multi-billion investment in installing an “ultrafast, ultra-reliable full fibre broadband network”.
It said the new recruits will be based across Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, Nottinghamshire and Rutland and were among 4,000 new jobs being created across the UK as part of the biggest recruitment drive in Openreach’s history.
