Install, splice, and terminate high-voltage (HV), medium-voltage (MV), and low-voltage (LV) cables.
Perform jointing tasks for various types of cables such as XLPE, PILC, and EPR.
Ensure that all connections and terminations are made correctly, following specifications and electrical standards.
Use appropriate tools and equipment for jointing, including heat shrink, cold shrink, and resin-based jointing kits.
Cable Installation:
Assist in the installation of underground and overhead cable systems.
Install cables in trenches, ducts, or overhead lines, ensuring proper alignment and protection.
Prepare cables for jointing by stripping insulation, cleaning conductors, and applying protective measures.
Testing and Fault Finding:
Conduct tests on cables and joints to ensure they meet quality and safety standards using insulation resistance testers, voltage detectors, and other diagnostic tools.
Identify and repair faults in electrical cables and joints, minimizing downtime and restoring power as quickly as possible.
Perform continuity and insulation resistance tests before and after jointing.
Health and Safety Compliance:
Follow all health and safety regulations, ensuring the worksite is safe and hazards are minimized.
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as insulated gloves, helmets, and safety boots.
Ensure safety procedures are followed during high-voltage operations, including the use of insulated tools and equipment.
Conduct risk assessments before starting any task, identifying potential hazards and mitigating risks.
Maintenance and Repair:
Perform routine maintenance of existing cable infrastructure to extend the lifespan of underground and overhead cable systems.
Repair damaged cables due to wear, electrical faults, or external factors (e.g., construction, weather conditions).
Ensure that all repairs are completed to industry standards and that power disruption is minimized.
Documentation and Reporting:
Maintain accurate records of jointing and termination activities, including details of materials used and work completed.
Provide reports on the condition of cables and joints, including any potential risks or areas requiring attention.
Maintain inventory of tools and materials, ensuring that all necessary supplies are available for upcoming jobs.
Coordination with Teams:
Work with electrical engineers, technicians, and other team members to ensure that all projects are completed on time and within budget.
Coordinate with site managers and supervisors to ensure that jointing tasks are integrated smoothly into the overall project plan.
Liaise with utility companies and local authorities when working on public infrastructure.
