Creating a future

We employ a large number of teams across the region, whose role it is to either respond to emergencies to dig down in the street or on private property to give our client access to repair their asset, or to lay new mains cables as part of their ongoing planned maintenance programme. Our responsibility begins with planning the works and finishes with us clearing site having put it back to the same or better condition than when we arrived, making sure that customers are happy and informed throughout every stage of the works. We currently have the opportunity for a Ganger to join the team.

You will be responsible for all stages of works on site, which will involve all aspects of Dig & Lay on the electricity network. You will need to have a strong focus on Health & Safety whilst completing the work on time and to the required specification.
