About The Position

We, at Prysmian, consider all our operators to be the top craftsmen of wire and cable manufacturing. The operation of our machines requires a range of skills and abilities that necessitate an attention to detail, the ability to learn detailed procedures, and patience. The positions that Prysmian is looking to fill include a need of different skill levels that are categorized as: entry level, mid-level, and highly skilled level positions. These positions include:

  • Extrusion –This process consists of extruding rubber (thermoset) or plastic (thermoplastic) material over a copper or cabled core. Operators are responsible for producing finished cables or components that become part of larger constructed cables.
  • Cabling – This process consists of taking multiple components, such as wires, fillers, and other materials including different tapes and loading a large machine that then twists them into one constructed cable.
  • Entry Level – This includes all other positions that work with components in some aspect of the process such as taping, braiding, or order cutting. These processes, though needing less skill, still play a pivotal role in our overall process.
