What is a traveling cable splicer?

Traveling cable splicers are skilled tradespeople who specialize in installing, maintaining, and repairing electrical and telecommunications cables, often working on-site at various locations rather than in a fixed area. Their job involves splicing together lengths of cable, troubleshooting faults, and ensuring safe and reliable connections for power or data transmission. Due to the nature of their work, they frequently travel to different job sites, which may include urban, rural, or remote areas. This role requires technical knowledge, physical stamina, and a strong commitment to safety standards.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a traveling cable splicer?

To thrive as a Traveling Cable Splicer, you need a solid understanding of electrical systems, cable splicing techniques, and safety protocols, often supported by completion of an apprenticeship or technical training. Familiarity with specialized tools like cable testing equipment, fusion splicers, and adherence to OSHA standards is crucial. Attention to detail, problem-solving abilities, and strong communication skills set outstanding cable splicers apart, especially when working in varied locations. These skills ensure that cable splicing is performed safely and reliably, minimizing downtime and maintaining critical infrastructure.

What are some common challenges faced by traveling cable splicers, and how can they be managed effectively?

Traveling cable splicers often work in diverse and sometimes remote locations, which can present unique challenges such as adapting to varying weather conditions, unfamiliar work sites, and tight project timelines. Effective communication with local teams and thorough preparation—such as reviewing site-specific safety protocols and ensuring all necessary equipment is on hand—are crucial for success. Additionally, flexibility and strong problem-solving skills help splicers address unexpected technical issues or changes in project scope. Building good rapport with different crews and maintaining up-to-date certifications can also enhance job performance and career growth.

Job description

Job Description

Medium Voltage Cable Splicer

Sentry Electrical Group, Inc.

Traveling Role | Nationwide Renewable Energy Projects

Per Diem Available | Full Benefits | 401(k) | Experienced Splicers Only


WHO WE ARE

Sentry Electrical Group is a specialty contractor working exclusively in the renewable energy industry, with projects spanning wind and solar installations across the country. Our medium voltage crews are responsible for the collection systems that move power from individual turbines and solar arrays to the substation — the backbone of every renewable energy site we build. It is technical, hands-on work performed by experienced splicers who take pride in clean, reliable terminations that will run for decades.


WHAT YOU'LL DO

As a Medium Voltage Cable Splicer, you will perform skilled tasks in accordance with standard trade practices for the termination and splicing of medium voltage cable systems. Your day-to-day will include:

  • Performing terminations, T-body connections, inline splices, URD splices, and metal shield splices on medium voltage cable
  • Working with 3M splice kits, Cooper T-bodies, and other industry-standard termination products
  • Connecting wiring and equipment in accordance with the National Electrical Code and project specifications
  • Reading and interpreting electrical schematics, single-line diagrams, and cable schedules
  • Safely operating tools and equipment such as hydraulic benders, power threaders, power pullers, and cable vacuum systems
  • Performing cable testing and verification to confirm the integrity of completed splices and terminations
  • Working closely with your crew lead and project superintendent to hit daily milestones
  • Maintaining strict adherence to OSHA guidelines and Sentry safety procedures at all times
  • Traveling to project sites across the U.S.; overtime and variable schedules are a normal part of this role


WHO THRIVES IN THIS ROLE

This is a role for experienced splicers who take the craft seriously. We are looking for technicians who can step onto a site, work independently, and deliver clean, code-compliant work under pressure.

Our best splicers typically come from backgrounds like:

  • Utility, line, or substation work with hands-on medium voltage termination and splicing experience
  • Industrial or commercial electrical work involving 5kV–35kV cable systems
  • Renewable energy collection system installation on wind or solar projects
  • Military electrical specialties or other structured, team-oriented environments where precision and accountability matter


WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU

This is an experienced position. To be considered, you should be able to:

  • Demonstrate hands-on experience with 3M splice kits and Cooper T-bodies
  • Perform terminations and splices on medium voltage cable systems independently and to specification
  • Read and understand electrical schematics, single-line diagrams, and manufacturer installation instructions
  • Demonstrate working knowledge of OSHA guidelines and safe work practices around energized and de-energized systems
  • Manage multiple assignments, prioritize tasks, and work effectively under pressure
  • Communicate clearly in writing and verbally with crew, leadership, and site personnel
  • Lift, carry, and maneuver items up to 50 lbs and work in physically demanding conditions throughout the day
  • Stand, kneel, bend, and work outdoors in variable weather conditions on active job sites
  • Hold a valid driver's license and be able to obtain a passport (travel required)
  • Have a high school diploma or equivalent
  • Read, write, and communicate in English
  • Pass a pre-employment background investigation and drug test; Sentry maintains a drug-free workplace


WHAT WE OFFER

  • Competitive salary based on experience and demonstrated skill
  • Per diem for qualifying travel assignments
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Paid time off
  • 401(k) retirement plan
  • Electrical Apprenticeship Program — for those looking to formalize their credentials, we offer a fully sponsored apprenticeship pathway with 100% of tuition and books covered by Sentry, upon meeting program eligibility thresholds
  • Consistent work on active project sites across the country
