OPPORTUNITY: Engineers from Openreach in the north west head to Breightmet for their training A NEW raft of engineering jobs have been pledged for the north-west - and most will come to Bolton for their training. Bosses at Openreach, the BT subsidiary responsible for the domestic telecoms network, say they are creating 255 posts across Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Merseyside, Cheshire and Cumbria. This is to mainly support the roll-out of their full-fibre service and forms part of a wider 5,300-strong recruitment programme by the outfit. And the new £1.7m Openreach training centre at Breightmet is expected to welcome the bulk of the north-west new starters.
