About Us

Established in 1997, we are a local family‑owned telecommunications cabling business in Ballarat. We continue this legacy under a recent directorship, maintaining the local, family‑owned roots. One of our current directors was ‘the trainee’ and has taken on the responsibility of leading our team and quality culture for the last 3 years. We are proud of our high‑quality installations. Our initial investment in growth has reached a point where we are seeking 1–2 like‑minded individuals to join the team. We are looking for someone who takes genuine pride in their work and wants to join us as we grow together.

Worker safety and developing a strong, positive culture are our absolute top priorities. Along with our RDOs and above‑award rates (with extra remuneration available for specific projects, high performers, and mentors), we actively support you through the genuine demands of the job. We aim for routine toolbox meetings as well as informal ‘check‑ins’ with every employee. These give our employees the opportunity to give feedback to the directors, be informed/consulted with changes
