Company Description ihavesignal is a UK specialist in wireless technology, delivering mobile signal boosting, Wi-Fi, private 5G, microwave and other specialist wireless solutions for challenging environments. From a single building to large and complex sites, we survey, design, install and support wireless systems that solve connectivity problems where conventional solutions fall short. About the Role If you have recently finished your A-levels or 6th Form and want to start a practical, technical career rather than continuing in full-time classroom education, this role offers direct, hands-on experience in the field.

• Work at Heights: Install antennas, cabling, and wireless gear on masts, roofs, and elevated structures.
• Technical Troubleshooting: Assist with diagnostic testing, signal tracing, and resolving network issues.
• UK Travel: Travel daily or stay away as required to service client sites and infrastructure hubs across the UK. What we are looking for
• Education: A-levels, 6th Form, or an equivalent technical qualification completed recently.
• Interests: A genuine interest in how networks operate, IT infrastructure, or wireless/RF systems.
• Physical Suitability: You must be completely comfortable working at heights. Full specialist safety training and protective equipment will be provided.
• Driving Licence: A current, clean, and full UK driving licence is essential, as the role requires extensive travel to various field locations.
