What Do Electricians Do?
Electricians handle a wide variety of tasks that make their job both dynamic and challenging. Here’s a quick overview of their responsibilities:

  • Electricians set up electrical power, communications, lighting, and control systems in residential, commercial, and industrial spaces. This can involve everything from wiring a new home to installing advanced control panels in a factory.
  • Over time, electrical systems need maintenance to stay safe and efficient. Electricians inspect systems, replace outdated components, and ensure everything meets current codes.
  •  When something goes wrong – like a power outage or a malfunctioning circuit – electricians step in to diagnose and fix the problem.

Electricians often specialize in one of three areas: residential, commercial, or industrial work. This offers plenty of opportunities for career growth.

What is the Work Environment Like?

Electricians enjoy a hands-on work environment that changes from day to day. You might spend one day working on a new construction site and the next troubleshooting issues in an office building.
While the work is rewarding, it can also be physically demanding. Electricians often work in tight spaces, climb ladders, or stand for long periods. Safety is always a top priority, and electricians follow strict guidelines to protect themselves and those around them.

How to Become an Electrician

Becoming an electrician takes time and dedication. If you live in North Carolina, becoming a licensed electrician typically involves the following steps:

  • You must be at least 18 years old and hold a high school diploma or GED.
  • Aspiring electricians typically start with an apprenticeship which combines classroom instruction with on-the-job training.
  • Alternatively, you can enroll in a technical college program that provides foundational knowledge and hands-on experience.
  • After completing your apprenticeship, you’ll need to pass the licensing exam administered by the North Carolina State Board of Examiners of Electrical Contractors (NCBEEC).
  • To advance in your career, focus on gaining diverse work experience. Continuing education is essential for staying up to date on the latest electrical codes, safety standards, and technologies.

Why Become an Electrician?

There are plenty of reasons to pursue a career as an electrician:

  • Job Security: According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment for electricians is expected to grow 11% from 2023 to 2033. This is much faster than the average for other professions.
  • Good Pay: Electricians earn competitive wages with the potential for higher earnings as you gain experience or specialize in certain areas.
  • Variety: No two days are the same. Whether you’re installing systems, solving problems, or upgrading equipment, the work is always engaging.
