About the role
This interview focuses on planning a resilient transport network that can support radio, core and enterprise demand. The panel wants to see how you forecast capacity, choose between fibre and microwave, govern suppliers and lead delivery across several technical and commercial teams.
How to prepare
- Review capacity forecasting, route diversity, protection, synchronisation and aggregation design principles.
- Prepare an example where you changed a transmission plan after new demand or delivery evidence emerged.
- Think through how you compare fibre builds, leases and microwave routes without relying on cost alone.
- Practise explaining investment timing and technical risk to a non-specialist decision maker.
- Prepare an example of holding a supplier to an acceptance requirement under schedule pressure.
Common mistakes
- Treating every demand forecast as fixed instead of testing its assumptions and timing.
- Choosing the cheapest route without considering diversity, maintainability and future growth.
- Focusing on design while overlooking procurement, access and rollout dependencies.
