As a field engineer, my role is to service, repair, replace, or troubleshoot issues for datacom customers. Tickets are raised by the customers, then our coordinators assign the ticket to a FE (Field engineer), once the job has been added to our Alliance app queue the coordinator assigning the job will ring and give us the details and SLA of the job. It is then our responsibility to travel to the job, within the time specified in the SLA, and perform the work necessary to resolve the customer's issue. Parts must be returned to stores for repair if the job performed involves a broken or defective part from the customer.

This process is the onsite admin side of my role that must be done to satisfy parts returns.

Pay. If I had to pick on one thing it would be salary, however it's competitive enough that I'm not looking elsewhere.
Lack of team resources.
The lack of support as a graduate... I was put into major projects doing work well above a graduate level.
Can be a bit isolating because you're not required to come into the office.
There are meager activities in the Adelaide Franklin Street office for staff to indulge in.
