National Recruitment Campaign Fibre Splicers

Location: Nationwide
Salary: £35,000 - £42,000 per annum

At VEA Telecoms, we don't just build networks we overcome challenges with determination, precision, and strength. With maintenance contracts running nationwide and ambitious network expansion across the UK, we're seeking skilled Fibre Splicers to join our growing team and keep the nation connected. Our maintenance teams are growing with significant growth in the new year.

This is more than a job it's an opportunity to tackle complex network faults, solve problems on-site, and make a real impact on UK telecoms infrastructure. This work also involves on-call responsibilities covering weekends and evenings for our customers.

Your Mission

As a Fibre Splicer, you'll be at the forefront of our network operations, responsible for maintaining, repairing, and expanding fibre across the UK. Your role will include:

  • Performing fusion and mechanical splicing across underground, aerial, and in-premises environments
  • Testing, troubleshooting, and optimising fibre networks using OTDRs, power meters, and light sources
  • Installing and maintaining fibre cables, enclosures, connectors, and patch panels
  • Reading and interpreting splicing diagrams, technical drawings, and network plans
  • Conducting upgrades, repairs, and expansions to ensure network reliability
  • Maintaining accurate records of work, test results, and material usage
  • Working safely and responsibly at all times
  • Collaborating with colleagues, contractors, and clients to deliver high-quality results

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
