This is a hands-on role suited to someone who enjoys variety, problem-solving, and working in dynamic environments.

This role involves regular work at heights (6-10 meter transmission structures) and in confined spaces. You must be comfortable working at heights, as this is an essential requirement of the position.

• Installing, maintaining, and troubleshooting fibre optic and data communication systems
• Conducting site surveys to assess and deliver tailored communication solutions
• Reading and interpreting cable plans and technical drawings
• Performing high-quality installations in line with industry standards
• Working at heights and within confined spaces in a safe and controlled manner
• Liaising with clients to understand requirements and deliver effective outcomes
• Ensuring all work is completed safely, efficiently, and to specification

• Exposure to fibre optic installation, termination, or testing (highly regarded)
• ACMA Open Cabling Registration (or willingness to obtain)
• Current manual driver's licence
• Ability to work autonomously and as part of a team
• Strong problem-solving skills and a safety-first mindset
• Flexibility to travel to remote sites (Monday-Friday)
• Comfort and capability working at heights (essential)
• A proactive attitude and willingness to learn and develop

Desirable but not essential:

• Cert III in Telecommunications
• MR Licence (or willingness to obtain - support provided)
• Previous site-based experience in infrastructure, electrical, or comms projects

What you'll get in return

• Stable, full-time employment with a strong project pipeline
