About the role

As a Trainee Cable Jointer, you’ll play a key role in maintaining and upgrading the underground electricity network that powers homes and businesses across our communities. This is a hands-on, physically demanding role, working outdoors in all weather conditions. You’ll be part of a team installing, jointing, and repairing cables, responding to both planned works and emergency faults to ensure a safe and reliable electricity supply.

During your Jointer training programme, you’ll have the opportunity to build on your existing skills and experiences gained in other industries. The training offers a mix of technical, academic and on the job training which is provided by our dedicated training school. Our programme enables you to earn while you learn, whilst also gaining vital experience and skills as you study towards a nationally recognised qualification.

The programme can take 18 to 24 months depending on your personal capabilities and is centred on an initial course at our training school followed by buddying with an experienced cable jointing team where you will build a portfolio of work which will allow you to gain authorisations to work on the network.

What you’ll get

Fully funded training to become a qualified Cable Jointer (training typically lasts around 18-24 months)
Structured salary progression linked to your skills development and authorisations
All tools and PPE provided
Opportunities to earn additional income through overtime and standby
Access to a flexible benefits package supporting your finances, wellbeing, and family life
A company vehicle provided towards the end of the programme (typically around 3 months before Trade Test completion)
Career stability and on-going progression opportunities
A skills-based pay matrix so your salary increases as you develop your skills

Before you apply – what to expect

This is a structured training programme where you’ll gain a nationally recognised qualification while building practical, on-the-job experience.

To succeed, you’ll need to:

Attend all mandatory training – annual leave cannot be taken during the following dates:
- Jointing Course Part 1: 01/09/26 to 23/10/26
- Jointing Course Part 2: 18/1/27 to 12/3/27
Have reliable daily access to your own transport throughout the trainee programme
Be flexible and able to travel to Thatcham Training Centre and other regional locations (daily travel required; accommodation not provided for regional training). The role may involve overnight stays and emergency response work
Commit to completing your training portfolio within 18–24 months
Accept a training repayment clause if leaving within 3 years of qualification

What you’ll be doing:

Preparing cables and carrying out jointing and terminations
Assisting on LV (415V–1000V) and HV (11kV–33kV) networks
Supporting excavation, installation, and repair works and assisting with maintenance and refurbishment of substation equipment
Working safely and promoting a strong safety-first culture
Delivering excellent customer service during planned and emergency work

What you’ll need:

Be customer-focussed with a natural ability to build relationships with customers, stakeholders and members of the public
Hand skills – routinely stripping meter tails, using hand tools and fixing meters to boards.
You'll have a thirst for knowledge and training, and be able to pick up new skills quickly, working with others within a team to achieve common goals and adjusting your behaviour to reflect the diversity of our workforce and customer base.
Have a strong focus on Health & Safety and will adhere to our company motto “if it's not safe, we don't do it.”
Proactive and flexible approach, effectively planning and using initiative to ensure the right equipment is in place, adapting to change, and consistently delivering high-quality work with strict adherence to Health & Safety standards
A full UK driving licence
