Cable Jointer

A Cable Jointer works with underground cables in a power supply system. You might lay new cables or join cables to existing network systems. Cable Jointers may perform repairs when necessary or deactivate cable systems when no longer needed. You might also make or assemble cable parts and components as part of your work.

Cable Jointers should be safety focused and able to follow correct procedures at all times. It’s important you can work as part of a team and communicate clearly with colleagues. Cable Jointers should have strong technical skills and may spend a lot of time working outdoors.
