Electricians install, maintain, and repair electrical wiring, equipment, and components.
My Match
Are you a problem solver? Do you like to work with your hands? Electricians are always on the go working on electrical systems and machines. You'll do everything from installation to diagnosing and resolving electrical problems. You'll apply electrical theory to build, repair, calibrate, and modify electrical components, circuitry, and machines. Your safety and that of others is a top priority. You always need to wear personal protective gear to be in compliance with rules and policies.
Other duties include routine maintenance, locating and correcting power failures and short circuits. You'll also perform mechanical repairs as needed. You will also document work and update files as needed. Many tasks will require the use of hand and power tools, so you'll be reading manuals, technical drawings, and wiring diagrams. All work you do must comply with federal, state, and local electrical codes and regulations.
Electricians perform a wide range of physical activity such as climbing, bending, stooping, and kneeling. You'll also be performing duties at a variety of heights, sometimes on a ladder or an electronic lift.
Many Electricians have an Associate degree and some companies require completion of an Apprenticeship program. You may be able to substitute three or more years experience as an electrician in an industrial setting for a degree or certificate.
