Install and connect electrical components directly from schematic or layout diagrams, ensuring correct polarity and circuit integrity.
-
Assemble cable and harnesses using crimps, connectors, and terminals for point-to-point connections.
-
Follow blueprints, schematics, and technical diagrams to complete wiring layouts.
- Troubleshoot and repair electrical faults in control panels, motor circuits, or custom wiring systems
-
Inspect and maintain electrical systems, ensuring compliance with safety and building codes.
-
Document work completed and materials used for quality control and compliance
-
Work with other electricians, engineers, and contractors to complete projects on time
Skills & Qualifications-
Technical skills: Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics and diagrams.
-
Tools & equipment: Proficiency with hand tools, power tools, ammeters, voltmeters, and cable testers.
