Contractor Resume Success Stories
Electrical Contractor Duties and Responsibilities
Whether setting up a new building's electrical system or ensuring reliable delivery from a power plant's high-voltage lines, some tasks are essential to all electrical contractors. Some of the most common include:
Knowledge of Code Safety first! Electrical contractors must be well-versed in the National Electrical Code (NEC) and prepared to implement its standards in all situations.
Building Business Electrical contractors maintain ties with people in the construction industry and others in need of electrical work. Networking, attending industry meetings, and scouting out opportunities are vital to securing work.
Evaluation When electrical contractors have a good understanding of what a job involves, they can then make plans on how to proceed. The difficulty of the job, the cost of materials, and the labor required for timely completion all play a role in the bid offered.
Electrical Work At the core is physically performing what needs to be done. Electrical contractors may do much of the labor themselves or oversee a team of electricians they've hired. At stages along the way, electrical contractors may perform tests to ensure quality. If problems arise, they troubleshoot to solve issues and keep projects on track. Electrical contractors also do the "behind the scenes" activities that enable the work to be done, such as securing permits and purchasing materials.
Electrical Contractor Skills and Qualifications
Successful electrical contractors are both excellent electricians and good businessmen. Thus, possessing the following are important to getting the job done:- Physical abilities - adequate hand-eye coordination, sufficient physical fitness to bend and lift, and stamina to move around/be on your feet regularly are vital to an electrician's performance
- Industry-specific knowledge - besides thoroughly knowing the codes, electrical contractors should be able to read blueprints and understand electrical theory
- Safety - competency on proper techniques in order to prevent accidents, first-aid training to handle emergencies if they occur, and wearing appropriate gear such as protective glasses
- Critical thinking - to diagnose problems that arise and come up with an effective solution
- Attention to detail - to ensure everything is working properly, meets specifications, and is up to code
- Leadership - workers under your charge will look to you for instruction, and your ability to manage a team can make or break productivity and results
- Salesmanship - finding opportunities and convincing those responsible for extending contracts that you (or the employer for whom you work) are the best for the job keeps the business running
Electrical Contractor Education and Training
Plan on obtaining a variety of licenses if you want to be an electrical contractor. First, you'll need to graduate from high school and become a licensed journeyman electrician. This post-secondary training involves a mixture of classroom instruction, a paid apprenticeship of four to five years, and passing a test on electrical codes and safety. After two years or more of being a licensed journeyman electrician, you can qualify to earn a master electrician license. This professional license expands the range of tasks you can perform, such as pulling permits and supervising job sites. With a master electrician license in hand, the next step is securing an electrical contractor's license. Exact procedures vary by state but often include passing an exam, meeting specific experience requirements, obtaining a business permit, and carrying appropriate liability insurance.
