A Career as an Electrician

Posted on July 6, 2011 by David

I am asked often, by people wanting to follow a career in the electrical industry . How do I get qualified as an Electrician? When I qualified  things was a little bit different. I was fortunate that although there was plenty of competition, there were many options around with companies willing to take on apprentices from school .

Now I recruit people for Electrical Engineer Jobs and Mechanical Engineering Jobs  in the Electrical  & mechanical Industry. I get asked all the time, what is the best route to take? Now, I can only give my opinion and after been employed in the electrical industry in some form or another for most of my life. There are many options available, from full time education to apprenticeships.

Appreticeships Lead to NVQ Level 3, City & Guilds Electricians Certificate for electrical engineering jobs. Full time education leads to HNC – Degree which is the best way for things like Electrical Design Engineer Jobs .

Personally, I think the way to go is through an employer who is happy to take you on as a trainee or mature student. This gives you the best chance in the future as you are learning the practical contracting and install side of the business as well as the theory.

I would also look for a company that covers a good scope of different contracts. I trained as an industrial/commercial electrician. This gave me the opportunity to work with 3 phase power, armoured cables and steel cable support systems. It is unlikely you will gain this experience if you work in the domestic sector. An industrial/commercial trained electrician can adapt to domestic installations. It can be more difficult for a domestic electrician to work on industrial/commercial installations.

It can take three to four years to become fully qualified. Many options are available for qualified engineers. There is further training available to reach electrical technicians standard. You could choose to go down the route of design or contract management. Although Many electricians choose to stay hands on. The electrical industry can present a new challenge daily. It may be a complete installation or a rewire. You may be testing a new installation or you may be testing and signing off.

Take care when you are deciding on the best business to start your training with. There are many websites that advertise electrical jobs. You will find some entry level roles on these sites but also look at electrical businesses local too you. Some of the larger companies will take on trainees on an annual basis. Other smaller companies may recruit as required.

You need to find a company that will support you throughout your training. A lot of the courses require you be in employment to continue your training. This can cause problems if you are suddenly not required.

Whatever route you choose to take electrical work can be a rewarding career choice Working in the electrical industry can lead to a long term career.
