Job Description

The electrical contracting industry is part of the construction industry and therefore electrician’s are generally responsible for the installation, maintenance and repair of electrical services, both inside and outside buildings and structures such as houses, hospitals, schools, factories and shops etc.



However, all electricians will have a broad range of similar technical knowledge and practical skills to enable them to carry out their work safely and correctly.



Some of the things that an electrician will be expected to do are:




  • Install, maintain and repair electrical services (e.g. lighting, sockets, fire  alarms, emergency lighting & heating controls)

  • Work indoors and outdoors and be prepared to sometimes work at height

  • Work with little or no supervision; relying on their own initiative

  • Be prepared to travel away from home

  • Develop good working relationships with people

  • Read both building and engineering drawings

  • Understand wiring and circuit diagrams

  • Select (within limits) materials and equipment

  • Inspect and test electrical installations

  • Diagnose and rectify faults on a range of circuits and equipment

  • Write reports



As you can see, the job of the electrician is varied and interesting and can offer a challenging career. Consequently, the training programme that you will be following as a JTL apprentice has been designed to help you by meeting and delivering training to these standards and expectations.


Personal Qualities :

The work is quite complex. You need to be reasonably physically fit, have good practical aptitude and be willing to learn.



Skills Required :

Knowledge and skills are important and the training is demanding.



Key personal attributes include:




  • Good practical skills to work with hand and power tools

  • The ability to follow technical drawings and instructions

  • A methodical approach to work

  • An ability to pay close attention to detail

  • A commitment to keep up to date with industry developments

  • The ability to work unsupervised and as part of a team

  • Good communication skills

  • The ability to work at height

  • Normal colour vision

  • A thorough understanding of safety rules and regulations



Future Prospects : The advertised Apprentice wage will increase yearly or upon completion of progressive stages. After initially qualifying, you could go on to supervisory roles, senior management positions.
