Construction electricians read and interpret electrical, mechanical, and architectural drawings5 v1 s1 ]8 ?; D1 Z4 U* `) E0 k- x
and electrical code specifications to determine wiring layout. They cut, thread, bend, assemble, and

Construction electricians work in the full range of environmental conditions: from outside in) q4 f, L- L' g
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/ R1 o7 v; N' A V! O/ X6 m: n
scaffolding at great heights. Hazards include electric shocks, burns, and falling objects.0 }+ i: P4 x- H4 N! _

On small jobs, construction electricians may work alone with minimal supervision, and they: d6 `4 T# F( h# R9 |2 N
may supervise an apprentice. On large jobs, they may work under the direction of a supervisor.% }1 n* m$ S0 j V! k2 B
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 to0 `: [* n0 g" a- j n
