What does the day look like?
You read drawings and wiring diagrams, plan circuits to code, and pull cable and conduit through walls. You install distribution boards, breakers, transformers, outlets and switches; connect motors and control panels; and use multimeters, voltmeters, ohmmeters, ammeters, insulation testers, oscilloscopes and test lamps. Industrial sites may also use Autodesk AutoCAD, PLC programming software and SCADA supervision software.
Visible installation is about 1/3 of the day. The rest is testing, fault diagnosis, correcting drawings, fetching materials, cutting channels and writing test records. A typical week is 37–45 hours, often with overtime. Shift and night work are normal on industrial and construction rotas; service work can include evenings, weekends and emergency call-outs. O*NET reports that 95% wear protective equipment every day and 73% face hazardous conditions every day.
