What you’ll do at work
The Electrical Contracting Industry is part of the Construction Industry and therefore, Electricians are generally responsible for the installation, maintenance and repair of electrical services. These can be found both inside and outside of buildings and structures such as Houses, Hospitals, Schools, Factories and Shops etc. However, all Electricians will have a broad range of similar technical knowledge and practical skills that enable them to carry out their work both safely and correctly.
Some of the work that an Electrician will be expected to do is: Install, Maintain and Repair electrical services (e.g.- lighting, sockets, fire alarms, emergency lighting and heating controls, etc.)
Work indoors and outdoors and be prepared to occasionally work at height.
Work with little to no supervision, relying on their own initiative.
Be prepared to travel and work away from home.

As you can see, the job of an Electrician is varied and interesting while also offering a challenging career. Consequently, the training programme you will follow as a JTL apprentice has been designed to help you.
