Electrician

Nearly every building in Houston requires electrical power, communications, lighting, and control systems. These systems power the lights, appliances, and equipment that make our lives easier and more comfortable. Electricians who work in the construction sector install, operate, maintain, and repair these systems in residential buildings, commercial businesses, and industrial plants. They are responsible for placing wiring, installing lighting, running electric tests, conducting inspections, and repairing generators.

What to expect

Are you a problem solver? Do you like working with your hands? Electricians are always on the go and performing a wide range of physical activity. You must be comfortable performing duties at a variety of heights, be safety oriented, and have an eye for quality and detail.
