Our client is looking for a skilled Data & Fibre Cabling Engineer to join their team.

With more than 20 years of experience delivering data cabling and telecommunications projects across the UK and overseas, they offer the opportunity to work on varied installations, develop specialist skills and take pride in delivering high-quality work for their customers.

This is a hands-on installation role for someone who enjoys practical work, working as part of a team and seeing projects through to completion. It is not an IT support or desk-based role.

The role: What you'll be doing

You'll be part of their installation team, delivering data and fibre cabling projects primarily across the South of England, with travel further afield when required.

Your work will include:

• Installing single-mode, multi-mode and blown fibre optic systems.
• Installing, terminating and testing CAT6 and CAT6A structured copper cabling.
• Testing fibre installations to ensure quality and performance.
• Installing cable containment, including trunking, basket, conduit and tray.
• Interpreting site drawings and following technical specifications and customer instructions.
• Working collaboratively with colleagues to deliver projects safely, efficiently and to a high standard.
• Completing security clearance procedures for specific contracts where required.

What they're looking for

They're interested in an engineer with a strong practical background in data cabling and, in particular, fibre optic installations.

You'll ideally have:

• Full UK driving licence
• Eligibility to obtain Security Check (SC) and Developed Vetting (DV) clearance
• Proven experience in data cabling installation, with strong fibre installation skills.
• Practical knowledge of single-mode, multi-mode and blown fibre systems.
• Experience installing, terminating and testing structured copper cabling.
• Experience with cable containment and interpreting site drawings.
• A professional, reliable and quality-focused approach.
• The ability to work independently when required and contribute effectively as part of a team.
• Flexibility to travel and stay away from home when projects require it.
• An interest in technology and a willingness to develop your skills further.

What they offer

They recognise the importance of their engineers and aim to provide opportunities to develop skills, gain experience and progress professionally.

Their benefits include:

• Competitive salary dependent on experience.
• Annual bonus.
• 28 days annual leave.
• Ongoing training and development, including courses such as IPAF, Confined Spaces, ECS and other relevant qualifications.
• Pension scheme.
• Sick pay.
• Company events.
• Provision of a company van.

Travel and working arrangements

You'll need to be comfortable working on different sites and adapting to the requirements of each project. Working away from home may occasionally be necessary, although overnight stays are kept to a minimum where possible. This will include travel expenses, overnight accommodation and any applicable travel allowances.
