Apprentice and Journeyman Electricians

Journeyman electricians are responsible for the installation, repair, and maintenance of electrical systems. They work with blueprints to figure out how the systems are supposed to work. Then, they use that information to troubleshoot electrical problems and come up with solutions for them. A journeyman electrician needs to have a deep familiarity with various types of electrical systems, fixtures, and components. They have to be able to repair electrical uses with a variety of tools and techniques. Their work also requires them to follow OSHA safety requirements and to safely use ladders, scaffolding, and platforms.

To qualify for this role, an individual needs to have completed an electrician apprenticeship. They also need to have a valid driver’s license, as journeyman electricians typically drive themselves from job site to job site.
