Contractors

In addition to our 150 infrastructure staff there can be about 300 contractors working on our network on a typical day. In an emergency that contract resource can more than double.

On most days about 80% of the work being undertaken is planned maintenance and development jobs, and the remaining 20% is reactive work, such as the repair of faults. In an emergency, the workload can be 100% reactive.

As well as electrical work such as line and cable maintenance, and major network development projects, we have specialist contractors undertaking tasks such as vegetation trimming, building maintenance and the removal of graffiti.

This section has information for the public about work involving contractors, as well as an area for contractors with technical information.
