Role Overview

We are looking for an experienced Instrumentation & Control (I&C) Technician to support installation, termination, connection, and testing activities on a Synchronous Condenser project.

The role will be hands-on and site based, with responsibility for I&C cable connections, cable termination, temperature instrumentation checks, and verification of installed equipment. Candidates should have previous experience working within power generation, substations, energy, heavy industrial, or similar electrical/instrumentation environments.

Key Responsibilities

  • Carry out I&C cable termination and connection activities.
  • Terminate control and instrumentation cables into panels, junction boxes, and field equipment.
  • Check cable identification, cores, ferrules, and termination points against drawings and schedules.
  • Perform continuity and point-to-point checks on installed cabling.
  • Inspect and verify cable connections prior to commissioning.
  • Carry out temperature checking and verification of instrumentation.
  • Check temperature sensors and associated connections, including RTDs, PT100s, and thermocouples, where applicable.
  • Verify correct installation and connection of temperature monitoring equipment.
  • Identify and troubleshoot incorrect terminations, damaged cables, connection faults, and instrumentation issues.
  • Read and work from electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, termination drawings, and cable schedules.
  • Support I&C testing, pre-commissioning, and commissioning activities.
  • Record completed checks and report defects or outstanding works.
  • Work closely with electrical, mechanical, and commissioning teams.
  • Complete all activities in accordance with project quality procedures and site HSE requirements.

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.
