•A jointing team is made up of a Jointer and a Craft Mate; the jointer undertakes live working whilst the Craft Mate acts as a safety attendant ensuring the safety of self and others at all times.
•Jointing teams primarily carry out Electricity Network faults and repairs but can also be engaged on customer connections and asset replacement activities. A full UK driving licence is essential for this role. The use of an excavator, and a NRASWA qualification are desirable but not essential.
