They are responsible for installing, operating and maintaining electrical machines for different businesses all over the world.

Electricians can work in either construction or maintenance. Some work in both. If the electrician works in construction they install electrical systems inside of houses, buildings and also factories. If a electrician works in maintenance, then they have to monitor and repair electrical equipment. Electricians use special tools such as knives, drills, pliers, screwdrivers, saws and other tools they need to do the job.
