About the role

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

You are the technical backbone of HV cable jointing operations, in the lab and in the field. You lead a team of jointers, coordinate high-voltage cable installations and testing up to 500 kV, and ensure every jointing activity meets the highest standards of quality and safety. This role sits at the intersection of hands-on execution, team leadership, and cross-functional collaboration with R&D and Project Management.
