Prysmian:

Prysmian is the world leader in the energy and telecom cable systems industry. Each year Prysmian manufacturers thousands of miles of underground and submarine cables and systems for power transmission and distribution, as well as medium low voltage cables for the construction and infrastructure sectors. We also produce a comprehensive range of optical fibers, copper cables, and connectivity for voice, video, and data transmission for the telecommunication sector.

We are 30,000 employees, across 50+ countries. Everyone at Prysmian has the potential to make their mark; because whatever you do, wherever you are based, you will be part of a company that is helping transform the world around us. Make Your Mark at Prysmian.

About the Position:

We, at Prysmian, consider all our operators to be the top craftsmen of wire and cable manufacturing. The operation of our machines requires a range of skills and abilities that necessitate an attention to detail, the ability to learn detailed procedures, and patience. The positions that Prysmian is looking to fill include a need of different skill levels that are categorized as: entry level, mid-level, and highly skilled level positions.

These positions include:

• Extrusion – This process consists of extruding rubber (thermoset) or plastic (thermoplastic) material over a copper or cabled core. Operators are responsible for producing finished cables or components that become part of larger constructed cables.
• Cabling – This process consists of taking multiple components, such as wires, fillers, and other materials including different tapes and loading a large machine that then twists them into one constructed cable.
• Entry Level – This includes all other positions that work with components in some aspect of the process such as taping, braiding, or order cutting. These processes, though needing less skill, still play a pivotal role in our overall process.

• Range: $20.88 to $31.87.
