Talk to the interviewer about your work habits and the way in which you prefer to approach a new project. If you have a sense of how Openreach prefers to approach their work you should discuss that method. For instance, if the interviewer tells you that they prefer extensive research before beginning a project, that is your queue to talk about your excellent research skills.

"I agree that research is the backbone of a strong project. Without it, important details are missed and much time is wasted. I like to research before starting a project so that I can lay out a plan and understand the potential hurdles as well."

In my experience researching is one of the best practices you can do before starting a project or a job. Because you can save time and you can see the pros and contras of what you are going to do about it.
Jaymie's Feedback
You did a nice job highlighting the benefits of preparing and conducting research before you begin a project. If you can think of an example to share with the interviewer, that will add strength to your response. Also, consider speaking about how you adapt when you have a project assigned on a tight deadline, and the ability to conduct thorough research beforehand may not always be an option. This will demonstrate your ability to pivot and think critically.
