We have partnered exclusively with Sintela to recruit their next Finance Manager.
Sintela Limited, based in Pill, Bristol (UK), is a cutting-edge technology company that turns standard fibre-optic cables into advanced sensors. Their systems use a technology called Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS), which allows these fibres to "listen" for changes such as vibrations, strain, or temperature—essentially transforming existing fibre networks into real-time monitoring tools.
Their technology is boosted by AI-powered analytics, trained on over 1 million hours of real-world data. This helps reduce false alarms and accurately classify events, making the systems both smart and reliable.
Sintela has been involved in several high-profile international projects, including a $35 million contract to support the U.S. government’s border security program helping detect activity and threats along long stretches of border.
They are also active in global energy and infrastructure through a network of tier-one partners and supporting smart cities, critical national infrastructure, and mining operations
