Data Cabling Engineer

Structured Cabling Engineer – Bristol Opportunity

We’re looking for enthusiastic engineers to join our growing team in the Bristol area. This role is open to all backgrounds and levels of experience — from those starting out in structured cabling to experienced specialists. With ongoing training and mentoring, you’ll have a clear pathway to progress from entry-level through to senior engineer and project lead.

What You’ll Be Doing

Your day-to-day work will depend on your experience level, but you can expect to be involved in:

• Installing and testing Cat6/Cat6a and fibre optic cabling
• Constructing containment systems (basket, tray, trunking, conduit)
• Supporting additional technologies including Wi-Fi, UPS, and AV
• Delivering projects across offices, data centres, warehouses, manufacturing plants, and secure facilities
• Travelling to client sites within the region, with occasional overnight stays further afield

At senior level you’ll also lead surveys, manage teams on-site, liaise with clients, and ensure projects are delivered to the highest standards.

Why This Role is Different

• Established Business: Over three decades providing structured cabling and telecoms services across Defence, Healthcare, and Manufacturing
• Progression Path: Clear opportunities to grow from entry-level engineer through to leadership roles
• Strong Benefits Package: From company vehicles to private GP access and life assurance
• Employee Ownership: Be part of an organisation where every employee has a real stake
• Defence Sector Projects: Get the chance to work on secure, high-profile military sites (SC Clearance a major advantage)

What We’re Looking For

• Hands-on experience with copper/fibre installations (or willingness to learn if starting out)
• Valid CSCS/ECS card
• Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel
• A strong focus on safety (IPAF, PASMA useful)
• Reliability, adaptability, and pride in your work

Highly valued (but not essential):

• Existing SC Security Clearance (or the ability to obtain it) — enabling access to defence and military projects
• CNCI qualification
• Previous experience working in defence, data centres, or manufacturing environments

The Package

• Competitive salary based on skills and experience
• 40-hour working week (07:30–16:30 core hours, with some flexibility when projects require it)
• 22 days annual leave plus bank holidays
• Pension with employer contributions
• Wellbeing benefits including Employee Assistance Programme, GP24, cycle scheme, eye test support, and flu jabs
