What they look for

Field Postings ask for a current driver's licence, customer service, and clear communication. Forty-five ask for experience with copper and fibre networks. Senior Field Technician Postings prefer an ACMA licence and a Certificate III or IV. Trainee Postings ask for an eagerness to learn, and you must complete the free Digital Work Experience. For most field roles, you send only a resume, and you pass a criminal history check and a medical assessment. Corporate Postings ask for work with stakeholders.
