Know your cables. Prepare properly. Get the detail right. We’re looking for people who take pride in their workmanship and follow the job through from preparation to final checks.
This is a hands-on site role suited to experienced jointers who are comfortable travelling, working on rotation and supporting teams across different project locations.

- Read and interpret cable schedules, technical drawings, installation instructions and relevant project documentation.

- Lead and coordinate a jointing team where required, allocating tasks, briefing colleagues and checking work quality.
- Mentor less experienced team members and reinforce safe working practices and consistent installation standards.
- Coordinate with supervisors, engineers and other trades to ensure work areas, materials, access and equipment are ready.
- Maintain accurate jointing records, test documentation, progress updates and quality checklists using project systems.
- Identify problems early, help resolve technical issues and raise anything that could affect safety, quality or programme.
- Look after tools, testing equipment and PPE, reporting damage, defects or calibration requirements.
- Complete relevant training to maintain and develop your jointing capability as project and market requirements evolve.
