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

- 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
