Picture this:
A van crawls through London traffic, the engine idling constantly. After an hour of stop-and-go movement, it pulls up to a curb and delays the vehicles behind. Two men get out, cordon off the area and they’re soon back in the van to repeat this cycle – again and again.
This is what telecoms work often looks like.
Now picture Vorboss:
A Light Maintenance Vehicle (LMV) arrives, unperturbed by city traffic. The engineer steps out, she uses tailored equipment to safely and comfortably access the work site and complete the job. No excess space, no unnecessary delays. This is telecoms done differently, with a focus on inclusivity, and innovation.
At Vorboss, we are breaking down the barriers of an industry stuck in its ways. In line with the City of London’s Skyline Skills Recommendations Report 2023, which advocates for a more diverse and inclusive workforce, more than a third of our field engineering team is female, and we are proud to have a range of diverse backgrounds represented companywide.
How did we achieve this?
Providing our engineers £100 for travel and food expenses during their first week to remove financial barriers.
Investing in continuous Learning & Development at our in-house training academy, allowing all our people to learn and renew their skills qualifications, and advance with the industry.
Offering an apprenticeship program to new starters providing in-depth understanding and skills development.
Circulating welfare vans shared by teams across London to ensure our engineers have access to water, snacks, and a restroom, fostering a comfortable and supportive work environment.
Constructing policies that reflect our team’s diversity. Whether it’s period days, a generous Family Policy, or adjusting shift patterns for those fasting during Ramadan.
In keeping with the recommendations of the Skyline Skills Report, Vorboss is leading the charge to redefine the telecoms sector—where inclusivity and innovation go hand in hand to build a better future for everyone.
