I am wondering if it is correct to use the preposition "on" as I used it in my sentence. Would you please correct my mistakes?

Peter spent ten years on the maintenance crew for British Telecom.

Does/Did BT really have only one maintenance crew? I would probably say "Peter spent ten years on a BT maintenance crew" or "Peter spent ten years as a BT maintenance person/man/engineer".
