Job Description

Shape the flow of energy and data

Prysmian is the global leader in energy and digital connectivity. Our teams design and build resilient, high-performance cable systems that keep power grids running and information moving—from underground and subsea transmission to construction, infrastructure, and advanced fiber solutions. With 9,000 colleagues in North America and 35,000 worldwide, you’ll be part of a community known for scale, innovation, and craftsmanship.

A day in this role

Imagine stepping onto the production floor where precision meets purpose. You’ll partner with seasoned professionals who mentor you on safely operating specialized machinery and following detailed procedures. Over time, you’ll learn computer data logging and basic inventory control, and you’ll meet our standards for safe, consistent machine operation.

  • Run and monitor equipment to make wire and cable products with exacting quality.
  • Rotate through process areas depending on skill level and business needs.
  • Record production data digitally and help track materials.
  • Team up with peers and leaders to improve efficiency and meet goals.
  • Work in an environment that may reach higher levels of heat and sound; expect extended periods of standing or sitting and the ability to lift 25–50 lbs.

Where your skills fit

  • Extrusion – Apply thermoset (rubber) or thermoplastic materials over copper or cabled cores to produce finished cables or key subcomponents.
  • Cabling – Load wires, fillers, tapes, and other materials into large cabling lines that twist multiple components into a single constructed cable.
  • Entry-Level Operations – Contribute to essential processes such as taping, braiding, and order cutting that keep production moving.
