Installation Trainee/Junior Network Engineer

Are you looking for a career in IT/Network?

My client is looking for somebody hands-on who’s keen to learn. Much more important are practical skills than technical ones though an interest and some basic understanding of networking would be good. What they need for the moment is somebody who is a lot more hands on. The role is far more about installation than the technical side to start with. Out in a van, drilling holes, mounting steelwork up and down ladders etc…
