We keep the UK connected and moving. We deliver essential infrastructure services across the water, energy, transport, telecommunications and public sectors, maintaining and modernising the critical networks that millions of people rely on every day.
Our Telent Technology Services business delivers mission-critical communications, digital and technology solutions that support some of the UK's most essential organisations. As we continue to grow, we're looking for a Trainee Traffic Installation Engineer to join our team in West Yorkshire.
This is an exciting opportunity to work with innovative technologies, collaborate with talented colleagues and make a real impact on services that help keep the UK running.
Telent are now looking for a Trainee Traffic Installation Technician to join a talented team of Traffic Signals / Traffic Lighting specialists covering the West Yorkshire region. Due to growth and demand from our customer(s), we are in a position to grow the Traffic team in this region. This is a “Field based” role - the successful applicant MUST hold a full UK driving license and be prepared to travel across the region and be comfortable working in all-weathers.
Are you looking for an opportunity where you can develop your field-based, hands-on experience? Do you already have Electrical Installations knowledge or experience? Do you hold an Electrical Engineering (or similar) Diploma / Certificate, and looking to kick-start a new career? Are you looking for an accredited and structured training programme to really test and develop your knowledge?
Trainee Traffic Installation Technician - What you’ll do:
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
As a trainee within our Traffic Signals team, a typical day would see you working closely with one of our experienced Traffic Engineers to install, maintain and test a range of Traffic Signals / Traffic Lighting units and all Electrical components and equipment that compliment, in and around the above region.
Training will not just be in a classroom, it’ll be a mixture of ‘on the job’ learning, desk-based and online learning, which will help you progress towards achieving an NVQ Level 2 in Highways Electrical Installations (led by LANTRA), then the NVQ Level 3, and finally, all Sector-based certifications such as ECS and the National Highways Sector Scheme (NHSS) Chapter 8.
Trainee Traffic Installation Technician - Who you are:
You will naturally have an intrigue and interest in field-based Engineering, and ideally already have some exposure to anything Electrical Installations focused - whether that’s working with electrical equipment, lighting, controllers, detection boxes etc, or you’ve had some experience in a college course. If you don’t have experience, and you are keen to start a new career, we encourage you to apply.
Trainee Traffic Installation Technician - Key requirements / behaviours:
- Motivation and willingness to learn through on-the-job and online learning
- Previous experience of Electrical installations or a holder of an Electrical course / diploma or similar
