Role overview

A wireless communications rigger installs, maintains, and modifies antennas, masts, towers, and associated equipment that support mobile phone networks, broadcast, and wireless communication systems. You will work at heights using specialist access techniques such as rope access or working platforms, and must combine electrical and mechanical skills with a rigorous approach to safety. It is an essential technical trade underpinning the UK's 4G and 5G infrastructure rollout.
