Service Leavers

Armed Forces Covenant

Indigo is committed to being a Service Leaver-friendly company and we are very proud that we not only employ a number of ex-service personnel right across our business, but we will also offer real support to employees who have chosen to volunteer to serve in the Reserve Forces. This is a Covenant that we take very seriously and will work hard to deliver upon.

Indigo is proud to support those who have served within the Armed Forces and we pledge to support these people in the below ways:

No member of the Armed Forces community should face a disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizens
In some circumstances, special treatment may be appropriate, especially for the injured or bereaved

In addition, Indigo also made a further commitment:

To actively recruit veterans, to provide relevant industry training and support and provide greater flexibility to staff who are Reservists by further supporting their training and deployment.
We are also committed to invest, train, and fast track those with a desire and aptitude to progress.

We are also delighted to have been awarded the Bronze award for Employee Recognition through these policies followed at Indigo.

We trust in your Development

At Indigo, we understand that changing careers and industries takes some time to adjust and settle, which is why all new employees are supported through comprehensive training to help them get up to speed. Catered specifically to each role, this process helps new employees develop with full support along the way.

Periods of shadowing our experienced team across all departments will benefit new starters. Getting first-hand vision and experience of the working environment and guidance from a colleague helps develop skills and confidence when progressing in a new role.

Indigo Culture

We are proud to have a number of ex-forces personnel already employed by Indigo, predominantly represented especially through field-based roles. The working culture is not too dissimilar to certain roles within the forces that are constantly out in the field and being active 24/7.

The versatility and variety within these roles mean that no day is the same, which brings new challenges, as well as new ways to progress.

For those that are looking to change their working environment, we have office-based roles working across all of our departments and services. Indigo’s HQ is based in Magor, South Wales and Limerick, Ireland and we are always looking to expand the team within these offices.

With Indigo’s commitment to growth and innovation, I’m excited to steer a dynamic team, to design, deploy and support our customers’ digital infrastructure.

Holly is a valued member of the Indigo team, and has worked within many roles in her years at the company. She is now part of our Salesforce Systems team, and oversees Indigo’s Salesforce deployment and is responsible for finding ways to maximise the investment and all the data it generates.

I had dealt with Indigo in the past and knew they were very good at what they did. I was looking for a new challenge, took the job, and never looked back.

Chris Portlock

Director of Technology

An accomplished engineer and team manager, Chris was looking for a new challenge and took on the responsibility of building Indigo’s Global Network Operations Centre (NOC). Since joining Indigo he moved on to become Director of Technology. It’s a job he relishes because it keeps him at the leading edge of diverse technologies.

I enjoy working for Indigo because the leadership team genuinely cares about the staff. And the health and safety culture is very strong. People talk about a top-down culture, where it's driven by the board, but it's actually driven up in Indigo.

I was promoted to my current role in 2019 after I completed the APM Project Management qualification (SCQF Level 7), which demonstrates knowledge of all elements of PM and how they fit into strategic and commercial environments.

I was lucky enough to join Indigo (operating as 4site in Ireland) at a time when the company was embarking on ground-breaking national infrastructure projects, first in Ireland and then in the UK.

Michael Rusty O'Sullivan

I love problem solving, the constant puzzle of trying to figure out the best way of delivering the requirement for clients and their customers.

Right from when I started five years ago, I was always made to feel part of something at Indigo. That hasn’t changed.

Lauren Brooks

Service Assurance Executive

Working in a bank and not happy about it, I was looking for career progression, a new challenge and a more exciting career opportunity. That was five years ago; today I’m a key member of the Global Service Assurance team at Indigo.

I can’t say I’ve ever felt bored at my job.

No two days are the same at my job! I could be climbing a mast taller than the Spire on O’Connell Street, or I could be piloting a drone, mapping a mountainside.
