About the company

Nationwide installations Company Van Training Career Progression

Build More Than Networks. Build Your Career.

At Octopus Networks, we don’t believe engineers should spend every day pulling cables through dusty ceilings.

We build complete technology solutions that power businesses, schools, care organisations and commercial sites across the UK.

From enterprise Wi-Fi and fibre backbones to CCTV, access control and network infrastructure, every project is different.

We’re looking for someone who takes genuine pride in their work and wants to become part of a growing company where quality matters.

If you’re ambitious, reliable and want a career rather than just another job, we’d love to meet you.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll work on exciting projects across the UK including:

  • Structured Cabling (Cat5e, Cat6 & Cat6A)
  • Fibre Optic Installation
  • Fibre Splicing & Termination (training available)
  • Network Cabinet Builds
  • Wi-Fi Infrastructure
  • Enterprise Network Installations
  • CCTV Systems
  • Access Control Systems
  • Containment Installation
  • Testing & Certification
  • Site Surveys
  • Working alongside our Network Engineers on enterprise deployments

No two weeks are the same.

One week you could be delivering a Cisco Meraki installation for a school.

The next installing a fibre backbone through a commercial building.

Then helping deploy CCTV and access control for a supported living provider.
