Inside electrician working on a control panel

Inside Wireman

The job of an electrician is to distribute and connect electrical equipment to a power source. Electricians install and maintain various types of electrical systems including lighting, motors, climate control and safety systems found in residential, commercial and industrial facilities. They also install conduit systems that contain wire to carry electricity from motor control centers or panel boards to all equipment that uses electricity.

The work of an electrician can vary, as one day they could be installing conduit and next day they could be wiring a control panel. Besides a variation of work, electricians can also work both inside and outside.
