Wow well done. What do you mean the benefits? A CSE is basically fixing network faults it's a good job. You will start doing fibre installs mostly and then over the following couple of years you'll do training so that you'll be fixing underground network faults and very few installs. It's the pay grade above*the cable reclaiming job.
I can tell you what your wages will be, you'll start on about 21k or 23k (I can't remember which) and the maximum is 27k when you reach the top of the pay grade. Overtime on top of that. Don't whatever you do ask what your pay will be. The interviewer probably won't know and you'll blow your chances of getting a job. Back to your question about benefits, I don't quite know what you mean by that. You get free broadband, good pension etc.
Just be careful, it's a great job and you're coming across slightly like all you're worried about is money and benefits. They won't give you a job if that's how you come across in an interview. I don't think any big company would. Good luck.
