WHAT DOES AN ELECTRIAN DO?
Electricians deliver electricity to our apart-ments, condominiums, and homes we live in. They install the electrical systems re-quired for stores, restaurants, schools, churches, doctor’s offices, hospitals, air-ports, factories, and industrial plants. They also repair and upgrade these systems in existing buildings or those being remodeled. Electricians work closely with other con-struction craft professionals, and together, build the infrastructure to make our com-munity a better place to live. Electricians need to: · Have a good mechanical ability · Work well with other craft professionals · Interpret Blueprints · Bend and install conduit systems · Install and terminate wiring systems · Install lighting fixtures · Install motors or motorized equipment · Install emergency generator systems · Understand electrical circuitry · Understand Power Distribution systems · Test Electrical systems · Diagnose and repair electrical problems ·Direct and train future electricians
WHAT SALARY DOES AN ELECTRICIAN MAKE?
An electrician may start as a helper for $18 to $21 per hour with a journeyman earning $23 to $29 per hour. Yearly income may range from $48000 to $95000 per year with the average being approximately $65000 per year. Benefits vary by company, but generally provide “HEALTH, HOSPITILAZA-TION, AND DENTAL INSURANCE” after a specified time with the employer, “RETIREMENT/ SAVINGS PLAN” with com-pany contributions, and “PAID VACATION” depending on years of service.
