The different electrical trades and what they involve

March 31, 2023 By GISuser

There are several different lines of work in the electrical trade, each with different skill sets that come into play. Working in this type of trade offers lots of opportunities across a variety of industries. There are plenty of reasons why you might want to consider this career path, however taking the time to understand exactly where each trade can take you will help get a better grounding in what to expect. With different salaries and safety precautions to consider, it’s important to give it some thought.

Inside wireman 

Anyone who works as an inside wireman will spend their time working on interiors across industrial and business settings. The premise involves installing lighting, security systems, and fire alarms amongst other electrical devices found in these environments.

In other words, you won’t have to work outside and face the elements! This role will involve sourcing power cables from reputable a supplier like RS or lighting tools, on top of other equipment.

Outside Lineman

As you might expect, an outside lineman spends most of their time outside. They install power lines, cable ladders and cables that transfer electricity to connect power stations to anything from residential to commercial buildings so that they can be powered by electricity.

The day-to-day job involves setting up connections or making repairs. It involves spending a lot of time climbing poles, which for some may find a little hair-raising. Much of the work is carried out by a cherry picker, so either way, being comfortable with heights is a must. It’s important to note that this job can be very dangerous.

Residential Wireman

A residential wireman operates in homes and isn’t licensed to operate elsewhere without additional training. Even then, the residential buildings that count must not exceed four stories.

The work carried out is very similar to that of an inside wireman, in that their job involved installing and maintaining wiring systems ranging from security systems to fire alarms.

Installer Technician 

If you work as an installer technician, you’ll likely collaborate with insider and residential wireman depending on the job. The roles are typically based in industrial or commercial environments.

The premise involves being responsible for installations being carried out properly and on time for the client. They install equipment and troubleshoot where necessary to ensure the customer is all setup.

Renewable Energy Technician 

With increasing legislation aligning with climate change targets, there’s never been a better time for electricians to jump on the bandwagon and seek a trade in the renewable energy sector.

Businesses and individuals are having to adapt, with companies requiring tradesmen to install everything from geothermal equipment to solar panels. Installing electric vehicle chargers will mean you can benefit from the increasing demand due to increased EV sales.
