    An opportunity is available for an Operator (Overhead Lines) based based at either our Llandrindod Wells or Brecon Depot.

    As an Operator you will assist a Craftsperson with construction, maintenance, replacement and repair of overhead lines up to and including 66kV. You will ideally have some experience in the electrical field although all necessary training will be provided.

    The work will involve being away from the depot, normally working in a team of two people. The working environment requires quick, decisive and responsible actions to meet the demands of the role.

    You will also be responsible for making sure the van contains all essential tools and equipment, working safely and assisting with any labour required on site. The work will involve being away from the depot, working in a team of two or sometimes more people.

    You will need the ability and enthusiasm to work in a physical environment and take quick, decisive and responsible action. A flexible approach to working hours is also essential, as is a driving licence.

    To apply, you will need to hold English & Maths GCSE (1-9/G-A*) or equivalent qualification deemed to be at the same level in these subjects, such as Functional Skills.

    Evidence of your qualifications will be required prior to appointment.

    Please note, where job roles involve working at height and the use of Personal Fall Protection Equipment, there are restrictions on the maximum weight of the individual.

    If you are offered a position, you will be required to successfully complete a basic DBS check that shows any unspent convictions or conditional cautions.
