Why Become An Electrician?

Electrical engineers develop an array of knowledge within their electrical skill set that many other trades do not have. Electrical work brings a new problem to solve each day and no day can ever be the same. The benefits that come with being in this trade are limitless and the career potential is forever going with an increase in demand.

Electrician career options

Did you know that by 2023 the UK will need between 7,500 and 10,000 electricians? Due to the current shortfall, opportunities are widely available and cover a wide variety of different electrical fields. There really is something for everyone.

If you’d like to work for a contracting firm or aspire to own your own business, becoming an electrician could be for you. Aside from an entrepreneurial spirit, you will need to have the technical skills along with a good understanding of regulations, developing trends in technology, and the necessary technical skills to design, install and test electrical installations.

Additionally, you could decide to specialise in a certain area of the trade, dedicating yourself solely to domestic, commercial or industrial work, or to installation and maintenance.

Other potential roles for electricians include Electrical Supervisor, Electrical Engineer, or Foreman. Also, once fully qualified and experienced, it is possible to apply to become a Master Electrician, the highest (and most lucrative) level of electrical engineer.

These are just a few examples of the amazing opportunities available to you, should you choose to become a qualified electrician.
