Electrician Jobs in Bernalillo, NM

Electricians play a vital role in the construction industry as they are responsible for installing, maintaining, and repairing electrical systems in new constructions, renovations, or expansions. Their job typically involves reading and interpreting blueprints, circuit diagrams, and other technical documents, installing electrical apparatus, fixtures, and equipment, running wires and cables, inspecting electrical components for safety and quality control, troubleshooting system failures, and ensuring compliance with state and local building regulations. Electricians also perform routine maintenance to ensure the electrical system is safe and running efficiently.

Important skills for an Electrician include problem-solving, critical thinking, physical stamina and dexterity, and a keen eye for detail. Additionally, they should be familiar with various tools and equipment used in the trade and have a strong understanding of electrical theory, codes, and standards. In terms of certification, most states require electricians to be licensed.
