The electrician's work is to install and tune automatic systems, prevent faults, troubleshoot, perform service, repair and maintenance, and to contribute to the development of the industrial processes. The work is done with both low, and high voltage.

The electrician works is to repair electrical and electronic faults on the machines in an industry. Industrial manufacturing is often automated. If a fault occurs in the system, the electrician must quickly correct this to avoid production disruptions.

The tasks are mixed and even if there is a plan for service and repair of machines, the electrician's assignment is often controlled based on what is happening in the industry and the machines on an ongoing basis.
