BT Announces Over 70 New Jobs

BT is to create 78 new jobs in Northern Ireland over the next six months in a variety of areas including software development, IT, engineering, sales and service, security and digital technology.

The majority of the jobs will be based in BT Flex, BT's contact centre operation in Riverside Tower in Belfast and will comprise 50 full, part-time and apprenticeship positions in the areas of customer service and sales.

The additional 28 positions will be a combination of apprenticeship and graduate roles, split between BT's technology service & operations division and BT’s commercial networks team in Belfast. A number of the new apprentices will also begin degree apprenticeships allowing them to obtain a full Honours degree qualification while working. Careers ranging from business analysis to software development and technology consultancy will be available at BT as part of the new Government and industry-backed scheme, which integrates degree level academic learning with practical on-the-job training.

In addition BT is also offering industrial work experience for third level students with ten 48 week placements to begin in September 2015 at BT's Global Development Centre in Belfast.
