Keeping the lights on, the fish cold and the people safe. Install, maintain and repair electrical wiring, equipment and fixtures. Ensure that work is in accordance with relevant codes. May install or service streetlights, intercom systems, or electrical control systems. From the big gear on big projects serving an entire city to the finer details of one fixture, an electrician has to be constantly focused on safety while also able to design complex wiring patterns. And people are always happy to see you. Kind of like being a superhero. With pliers.
