How much does a Cable installer earn?
We're still collecting salary data for Cable installer. In the meantime, see what affects your pay in this role.
Where do these numbers come from?
This range comes straight from active vacancies on Werkvolk, not from a survey or an estimate. We only publish a range once at least five different employers state a salary, and we round the bounds, so you can never read off what one particular company pays. The range moves as new vacancies go live. In the app you see the exact salary per vacancy.
Pay by province
There are still too few employers per province for Cable installer to show a reliable range. We publish one as soon as at least five employers in the same province state a salary.
What determines your pay within this range?
As a cable installer, your BA4 or BA5 electrical safety certificate, your experience with specific installations (data, electrical), and your knowledge of safety standards determine your pay.
