The Role
As our LOC and Wayleaves Officer, you will lead the effort to secure Wayleaves and necessary consents, reducing premises impacted by Wayleave constraints. Your can-do attitude and experience will support the business in its corporate objectives to provide fast and reliable fibre to everyone.
To achieve this, you will proactively secure Wayleaves before the build cycle begins, optimising resources and maximising customer return. Additionally, you will manage reactive Wayleave agreements whilst collaborating with operational and build teams. Building and maintaining relationships with key freeholders and landowners will be crucial for negotiating Wayleave agreements. You will manage systems to keep the business updated, ensuring accurate data management and compliance with standards, and regularly updating Wayleave progress.
Success in this role requires tenacity, self-motivation, excellent communication skills, attention to detail, and the ability to overcome challenges. Your efforts will be vital in delivering our fibre network effectively and efficiently.

Workplace, Culture & Diversity
Corporate culture is essential to allow the organization to differentiate itself. In terms of image on the one hand, it has strengths both internally and externally to consumers. It is indeed a source of cohesion and motivation of employees and it limits conflicts. With customers, it conveys a positive image and can develop a feeling of closeness to the company or even become a criterion of choice.
