Crew hire
Network cabling crews, hired as a team rather than assembled from strangers
A crew that has worked together before finishes faster than the same number of individuals who met on Monday. That is the whole argument, and it is why we supply teams rather than headcount.
A network cabling crew is not four people with the same ticket. It is a working unit — someone who runs the containment ahead, someone who pulls, someone who terminates and tests behind, and a supervisor who reads the drawing and keeps the labelling honest. Assembled well, that unit installs and certifies at a pace an ad-hoc group never reaches.
Most labour suppliers cannot offer that, because they hold a database rather than a bench. They send four names who have never met, and the first week is spent finding out which of them can actually terminate. On a fit-out programme that week is the programme.
We recruit continuously rather than starting a search when the phone rings, and we keep crews together between jobs wherever the work allows. When you book a crew from us you are booking people who already know each other's pace.
Every crew arrives with the paperwork finished. Right to work verified against what a permit actually allows in that country, trade competence evidenced by references from previous sites, cards and tickets current, medical fitness on file, and the complete indexed pack issued to you before anyone travels. Nobody gets turned away at your gate.
Copper
Cat6, Cat6A and Cat7 first and second fix, termination, testing and certification to spec, patching, MAC works and full result packs.
Fibre
Fusion splicing single-mode and multimode, OTDR and light source power meter testing, MTP/MPO and pre-terminated trunk install, cleaning and inspection discipline.
Containment
Tray, basket and ladder installation, cable routing and dressing, bonding, and labelling to TIA-606 as the work goes in rather than reconstructed afterwards.
Racks and white space
Rack build, install and alignment, rack and stack, cross-connects, MMR support, and decommissioning with asset removal.
Supervision included
A working supervisor on every crew who answers to your site manager, attends the briefings, and raises a problem the same day rather than at the end of the week.
Documentation as standard
As-builts, test result packs, O&M content and handover files produced alongside the installation, in the format your client asks for.
Where we cover
United Kingdom and Ireland for near-term starts. Mainland Europe — France, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Poland, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Switzerland and Austria — all under one UK contract with A1 certificates, posting declarations and local cards handled by us. In Asia-Pacific, our own crews serve the Johor–Singapore hyperscale corridor, and we mobilise European splicing and testing specialists into the region where those skills are scarce locally.
Questions we get asked
- What size network cabling crew can I hire?
- From a single specialist joining your existing team up to complete multi-crew packages. Where a programme needs volume quickly we mobilise in waves — a first crew on site while the rest complete induction and documentation — so the work starts rather than waiting on the last man.
- How quickly can a crew start?
- For UK sites, typically within a week of a confirmed rate. For European postings the A1 and local card route sets the pace, and we start it the day the rate is agreed rather than after mobilisation, because that sequence is what usually costs a programme its first fortnight.
- Do the crews bring their own tools and test equipment?
- Tell us the certification your client requires and we confirm in writing before mobilisation exactly what the crew carries and what the site must provide. We do not leave that to be discovered on day one.
- Are the crews employed or subcontracted?
- Every operative is engaged under written contract and covered by employer's liability and public liability insurance, with terms mirrored back to back to yours. There is no ambiguity about who carries what.
- Will you work behind our name?
- Yes. We supply behind main contractors, cabling businesses and agencies, and we do not approach your clients. That is a term of the supply agreement rather than a handshake.
- What does a network cabling crew cost?
- A single day rate per operative agreed in writing before mobilisation, covering the operative, our management and our insurance. Travel and accommodation are quoted separately and openly. Overtime and weekend work only against your written instruction.
- What happens if a crew member is not up to standard?
- We replace from our own bench so your programme does not pause while a new search runs. If your site disputes a day, we come to the operative first — nothing is deducted from anyone's money without them hearing it from us.
