Job Type: Full-Time

Job Summary:

As a Journeyman Electrician at Cannon & Wendt, you will specialize in electrical wiring of buildings, transmission lines, stationary machines, and related equipment. Electricians may be employed in the installation of new electrical components or the maintenance and repair of existing electrical infrastructure.

Key Responsibilities:

• Service electricians are tasked to respond to requests for isolated repairs and upgrades. They have skills troubleshooting wiring problems, installing wiring in existing buildings, and making repairs. Construction electricians primarily focus on larger projects, such as installing all new electrical system for an entire building or upgrading an entire floor of an office building as part of a remodeling process.
• Daily responsibilities include but are not limited to:
  • Install underground supply lines:
    • to do this, a heavy equipment operator digs a trench which can be up to 50 meters long
    • the electrician must occasionally pick and shovel work to lay cable in this underground trench
    • following the laying of the cable, the heavy equipment operator would cover over the pipes or wires with the dirt
  • Material handling:
    • various supplies and devices brought to the site have to be unloaded
    • this includes panels, transformers, conduits, and spools of wire which may be transported using wire carriers if available
  • Install boxes and conduits during block wall construction:
    • this is essentially working one step ahead of bricklayers installing electrical conduit and boxes prior to them being bricked in by the bricklayers
    • may involve working on top of scaffolds or working on ladders

  • Wire pulling/ Cable laying:
    • this involves feeding wires through conduits
    • sometimes involves using fish lines to feed wires through
    • involves a lot of whole body movement and tugging on wires in order to have them pass through conduits and other channels and to overcome the resistance of wire being pulled from spools – small branch circuit wiring – small gauge wire-usually light work if short runs – large feeder cable – large wire – usually heavier work and for this type of wire pulls a mechanical tugger is used to pull the wire and a mechanical feeder is used to pull the wire off of the spool
  • Distribution systems:
    • once the main power feed comes into the building, it has to be distributed through the system
    • this involves from the multiple transformers and then through distribution panels
    • installation of these devices may involve a lot of whole body pushing and pulling in order to fine tune placement of such equipment, generally the installation of SES gear is performed by millwrights
    • generally performed by two men working in pairs, sometimes with the assistance of a portable crank
    • bending of tech cables can rather be difficult for wire diameter which can approximately 3 inches in the case of major apartment buildings and commercial structures
