United Kingdom Wifinity Full time
Description

About us:
Wifinity was founded in 2007 to solve a problem—our armed forces were struggling with reliable connectivity. While living in barracks, often in remote locations, ordering a landline and booking in an engineer just wasn't an option.

And that problem isn't exclusive to the military, either. Students living in University accommodation, families visiting holiday resorts, or living in shared accommodation and retirement communities.

Conventional home broadband doesn't always work for them.

Wifinity is different. We offer the same benefits as traditional broadband, such as super-fast speeds, WiFi, and secure and private networks, but none of the downsides. We even offer Pay As You Go and flexible contracts, so customers only pay for what they need without hefty penalties or long contract terms.

We take the complexity out of connectivity.


The opportunity:
In this role you will be responsible for the creation and governance of Wifinity designed solutions through internal and external peer review. You will provide an informed and authoritative sign off function regarding the outputs required of any technical external survey resources.   

The role includes an assessment and approval of the commercial impact of design decisions and produces customer facing delivery costs for external approval. The team's deliverables are to maintain a design led business approach to maximise consistency and drive ongoing performance improvements. You will have the chance to work within an exciting team and contribute to new developments and future products at Wifinity. 

Key areas of focus:
Joining our Presales team, you will be responsible for the creation of designs and approval of outsourced design work for new and existing business opportunities. 

You will work with other members of the Engineering team to help ensure the continued successful delivery of Wifinity solutions to its customers.
