all weathers; inside in dusty industrial plants and mills; to state-of-the-art clean-rooms in hospitals and

climbing, pulling, and reaching and may be conducted in cramped, confined spaces or on ladders and

For safety, permits and other regulations they follow local electrical, building and safety codes.

Construction electricians interact and work co-operatively with the full spectrum of

and air-conditioning technicians. They are required to constantly adjust their schedule and work to
