An Inside Wireman, also referred to as a Journeyman Electrician, primarily performs electrical

construction work in commercial and industrial settings. This is a highly skilled person who completes a five-year apprenticeship while earning wages by working at a very diversified and respected job. This includes the planning and installation of complete electrical systems such as power, lighting controls, heating and air conditioning systems in all types of buildings including hospitals, schools, factories, power plants, and other structures. An electrician may also be called upon to install, connect and check electrical equipment or machinery. Inside Wiremen install conduit, electrical wiring, fixtures and electrical apparatus inside commercial buildings in a multitude of industrial settings. An electrician is not only mechanically inclined but must be a skilled technician as well.
