Build A Career In Critical Infrastructure

Trained, Trusted And Backed By Us

Multiconnect has been installing and maintaining critical infrastructure across the UK since 2015, working with organisations like the NHS, Northumbrian Water, Northumbria University and Unipres. Everyone who joins us is trained by us and backed by us, and that changes the kind of career you can build here. Our engineers specialise across data cabling, networking, telecoms, electrical and security, and most have developed at least one of those disciplines with us rather than arriving fully formed. We invest in accreditation and manufacturer training, from NAPIT through to Excel and Connectix.

The work itself is varied and rarely routine. In a single year our teams might be splicing fibre on an offshore rig conversion, upgrading Wi-Fi across a remote Northumberland estate, fitting out ambulance stations or cabling a new museum building from scratch. It means early starts, occasional travel and environments where getting it wrong is not an option, but it also means no two projects look the same. If you want to be trusted to crack on, work alongside people who know their trade and leave every site with something you would put your name to, we would like to hear from you.

We are currently recruiting for the following role. If it looks like a fit, we would like to hear from you.
