Electrician Helpers

Electrician helpers assist electricians as they install and maintain electrical systems.

Electrician helpers gather the tools and supplies needed for jobs and transport them to job sites. At construction sites, they set up scaffolds so electricians can reach ceilings and high walls. They also do some of the basic preparation work.

Electrician Helpers are in the Architecture and Construction career cluster and the Construction pathway.
