  • Installing and terminating Cat5e, Cat6 and Cat6a cabling
  • Fibre splicing, termination, and fault finding
  • Testing with Fluke kit and producing certified results
  • Network cabinet installs, upgrades, and tidy‑ups
  • Installing switches, access points, and associated hardware
  • Running jobs on site and being the client's point of contact

A bonus if you've also done Paxton Security Systems.

What you'll need:

  • Proven experience in data and fibre installation
  • The confidence to run jobs independently
  • Strong problem‑solving and a genuine can‑do attitude
  • Clear communication with clients and the team
  • Full UK driving licence
  • CSCS / ECS card
