Distinguishing Features

An Electrician and a Senior Electrician are journey-level employees whose work is not limited to a particular branch of the electrical field. Their work may range from wiring low voltage systems to installing and maintaining plant or lighting and power electrical systems and switchboards, and electronic controls and surveillance systems. Assignments are in the form of written and verbal orders or plans and diagrams, and their work is always subject to inspections as well as supervisory checks. In addition, a Senior Electrician acts as a lead person to electricians and their helpers.

An Electrician Supervisor's main responsibility is to plan and supervise work, although under special circumstances, an employee of this class may also do journey-level electrical work. An Electrician Supervisor inspects the work of journey-level employees for quality, quantity, and conformance to electrical codes. Assignments for new installations and alterations are usually in the form of plans or wiring diagrams, while instructions for other maintenance work are general in nature. Review of an Electrician Supervisor's work is typically through conferences with supervisors.

Employees in these classes do not work in electric stations or steam electric generating plants and normally do not work with high voltage lines or equipment. However, all are exposed to hazards involved in working on energized lines and equipment and occasionally in working from scaffolding or aerial lifts.
