£35k-£45k /year

Our Field Engineers are the people agencies meet on install day. You'll travel the UK in a company van, fitting and testing phone systems at estate agency branches and making sure every team is confident before you leave. Installs run Monday to Friday with no weekends, and every 5-star review a customer leaves you earns a little extra.

The Role

Roles & Responsibilities

• Install and configure phone systems, handsets and supporting network kit at estate agency branches across the UK.
• Test every install from start to finish, working with our internal technical team so calls, routing and CRM integration all work on day one.
• Walk the team through their new system before you leave, so everyone is confident from the first call.
• Handle the occasional fault call-out or site survey, and work with our support team to sort issues quickly.
• Plan your diary and routes to make the most of each day, travelling nationally in your company van.
• Keep job notes, kit and install records up to date in our systems.
• Be the friendly face of CRE on every visit: punctual, tidy and straight-talking. You can also earn a little extra for every 5-star review a customer leaves you.

About You

Requirements

• Hands-on experience installing VoIP or telephony systems.
• Solid networking knowledge, such as routers, switches, VLANs, QoS and structured cabling.
• A methodical problem-solver who stays calm when something doesn't work first time.
• A friendly, clear communicator who can explain tech without the jargon.
• Organised and reliable, with a real pride in leaving every job finished properly.
• A full UK driving licence and happy to travel nationally, including occasional early starts and overnight stays. Installs are Monday to Friday, with no weekends.
• Relevant qualifications (e.g. CompTIA Network+, CCNA or cabling certs) are a bonus, but not essential.

Our Story

Become Estate Agent Specialists

Most businesses chase growth by going broader. We did the opposite, dropped everything except estate agents, and strove to be brilliant in one sector. And it's been up ever since.

Team Grows to 50+ People

We are nothing without our brilliant team. From three founders round a laptop to 50+, and still hiring. Fancy joining? Check out our careers page here.

CRE Charity Committee Launches

As a business, we want to give back so we launched our CRE Charity Committee. We held a directors' relay to decide our charity of the year, read more.

5th Year Summer Party

Five years, a lot of learning curves, and one very good excuse for a party. We celebrated with employees, customers, partners and family at a swanky rooftop bar in London.

CRE is Founded

Three fresh-faced lads (+ Taylor), no idea what they were letting themselves in for, and a shared conviction that telecoms could be done properly. The opening day dress code was clearly “your smartest blue skinny jeans.”

Move into First Office

Not exactly a 10th floor Mayfair office - a box room with just enough space for three desks and a kettle. But it was ours, and it finally felt like CRE was a real thing now we had a place to call home.

First Ever Blitz Day

Once a quarter we have a day where we blast the phones and give out prizes for top performers. This was our first and it's been such a good way to drive growth and give back to our amazing team.

Win First Major Award

Our first award win courtesy of Technology Reseller, presented by Craig Charles. And Calvin still thought he had the most talent on the stage.

Rebrand to CRE Group

As a company, we pivoted from solely telecoms to a multi-service provider, offering all of the business hardware solutions that an estate agent would need.

Our Values

The V.A.L.U.E.S framework provides the principles that guide our business.

Value Over Volume

We'd rather have 50 customers who genuinely benefit than 500 who regret signing. We consult, we don't coerce.

Adapt, Always

Whole of market means we find the right system for you now - and switch you to a better one if it emerges. Your contract is with us, not the hardware.

Lead With Truth

Transparent pricing. Honest timelines. Real integration (not “click-to-dial and we'll call it integrated”). If we can't do it brilliantly, we'll tell you.

Unmatched Expertise

We're not generalist telecoms. We speak estate agent inside and out. That specialisation means we deliver better, faster.

Earn Everything

Trust. Additional services. Renewals. Referrals. Nothing is automatic. We prove our value every single day.

Smash The Standards

We fix costs. We answer in 5 rings. We integrate fully. In an industry known for price hikes and lock-ins, the bar is higher here.

Charity

As a business, we want to give back.

Every year, our Charity Committee nominates a chosen charity and runs a mix of internal and external fundraising events to support it, all year round.

Our Nominated Charity of the Year

Kent Surrey Sussex Air Ambulance

KSS Air Ambulance aims to end preventable loss of life from a medical emergency.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We've got you covered. Here are some quick answers to help you get the most out of CRE.

Is CRE a remote-friendly employer?

It depends on the role. Our Business Development Manager and Field Engineer roles are fully remote, while others, like Business Development Representative, are based from our Crawley office. Each listing shows exactly what to expect.

What benefits does CRE offer?

Clear career progression, regular socials and team trips away, flexible and hybrid working, Employee of the Month and incentive schemes, discounted broadband and mobile plans, and a learning and development budget. You also get Christmas and your birthday off, a full pension scheme, and access to a mental health first aider.

What's the interview process like?

A short introductory call, a longer conversation with the hiring manager, and a final stage with one of the founders. We aim to come back to you with a decision within a week of your final interview.

Do I need estate agency or telecoms experience to apply?

No. Plenty of our team joined with no telecoms background at all. What matters is that you're curious, straight-talking and happy picking up the phone - we'll teach you the rest.

Where is CRE based?

Our head office is Unit 17, Lloyds Court, Crawley RH10 9QX, a few minutes from Gatwick. Remote roles can be based anywhere in the UK.

Does CRE support employee wellbeing?

Yes. We have trained mental health first aiders in the business, flexible hours and hybrid working, and a culture that doesn't expect you to be online at all hours.

What does “OTE” mean on your job listings?

On-Target Earnings: your basic salary plus the commission you would earn hitting your targets. We publish both figures on every listing so you can see exactly what the role pays.

What's it actually like working at CRE day-to-day?

Busy, sociable and fairly informal. Small teams, quick decisions, and everyone within earshot of the people making them. Expect parties, trips away, Employee of the Month awards and a fair few TikToks.
