Rural fibre firm County Broadband says it will grow its workforce to 270 by the end of the year in order to facilitate its ambitions of a 500,000 premise network in the East of England over the next five years.
County Broadband received a sizable investment of £100 million earlier this year and had a £46 million cash injection back in 2018 – both from Aviva. The firm says this will fuel 100 new jobs and its fibre infrastructure expansion plans in the East of England.
The vacancies are for roles including network operations, design, build, IT, customer services, and community engagement which will boost its current workforce of 170, and it is also planning to recruit apprentices in the local areas. The firm says it is going to roll out FTTP infrastructure to over 220 villages across Essex, Norfolk, Suffolk, and Cambridgeshire.
