BT to bring 460 jobs to Birmingham
BT has announced plans to bring hundreds of new roles to its new offices in Birmingham.
The tech and telecoms company has unveiled plans to bolster its digital workforce which will see around 460 specialised jobs brought to the second city. The majority will be brought on board by April 2024.
BT already employs more than 1,700 people in Birmingham and more than 6,000 across the West Midlands region.
The new employees will be appointed to roles including product management, software engineering, cloud, design, AI, machine learning and agile delivery.
Last year BT opened the doors to its new offices at Three Snow Hill which will serve as home to the new recruits and a base for up to 3,500 colleagues.
Harmeen Mehta, chief digital and innovation officer at BT, said: “Digital was founded to accelerate BT’s transformation, innovation and return to growth.
“To succeed, we need to bring in and upskill the top digital talent, and our efforts will boost the tech communities along the way.”
The new Birmingham roles form part of a 1,000-strong recruitment drive across the UK focussed on BT’s key regional hubs in Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol, Belfast, Ipswich and London.
