Electrician I

Class Concept

This is semi-skilled to skilled work in the construction, installation, maintenance, and repair of electrical systems, equipment, and fixtures. Work includes the independent performance of less technical tasks of the electrical trade; as experience is gained, more technical tasks are performed under the supervision of a journeyman electrician. Assignments are received from a journeyman or foreman and are accompanied by specific instructions. The degree of supervision received depends upon the nature of assignment. Work is reviewed to determine whether basic principles and techniques are understood as well as to determine that assigned tasks are completed satisfactorily.
