With three manufacturing plants across the UK, Prysmian plays a vital role in delivering energy and cable solutions for customers at home and around the world. We are a global market leader, recognised for innovation across the Energy and Telecoms sectors — and our UK operations are right at the heart of that success.
A Truly Unique Working Environment
Based at our Bishopstoke site, the High Voltage Laboratory is a central resource supporting Prysmian’s worldwide manufacturing of high‑voltage power transmission cables. We test some of the most advanced cable systems in the industry — up to one million volts — and this laboratory is the only one of its kind in the UK.
The Opportunity
We’re looking for a hands-on Mechanical Fitter to join our close-knit laboratory team. This is an excellent opportunity if you enjoy practical, mechanical work and want to apply your skills in a specialist, high-tech environment rather than a repetitive production role.
You’ll be working with heavy-duty equipment, building and maintaining mechanical rigs, and playing a key role in keeping our test facility operating safely and efficiently. No two days are the same — and your work directly supports critical testing that underpins major energy infrastructure projects worldwide.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Setting up and adjusting mechanical equipment for laboratory testing
- Maintaining, servicing and repairing mechanical test rigs and tools
- Carrying out general mechanical fitting tasks to support ongoing operations
- Handling and preparing cable sections and components for testing
- Undertaking training to develop your skills and broaden your technical knowledge
