Job description:
Inside Electrical workers install, maintain and repair electrical power, communications, lighting and control systems in homes, businesses and factories. Electrical workers work indoors and outdoors in nearly every type of facility. Almost all electricians work full time, which may include evenings and weekends. Outside Linemen ensure that electrical power is properly distributed from power plant generation facilities to end-users. They are responsible for the installation and maintenance of all types of power transmission and distribution systems for industrial, commercial, and residential markets. Both classifications of Electrical workers learn their trade through a registered apprenticeship program that is typically low cost or no cost to the student. A high-school diploma or equivalent is required to begin your apprenticeship and career in the trade. Most jurisdictions require Inside Electricians to be licensed by the state or local governmental agency as applicable, the apprenticeship is designed to result in licensure.
