An electrician can specialize in industrial, commercial or residential electrical work. It is vital to know the difference between these three, depending on the work you want to have done.
Whereas a residential electrician focuses on the lighting, wiring, and configuring of the circuit boards for residential properties, a commercial electrician will focus on generators, transformers, and other electrical aspects that come with the building of properties such as schools, parks, resorts, and hotels.
You may also encounter terms such as journeyman and master electrician. A journeyman is in the process of completing training to become a master electrician. They can be responsible for managing your project but may have a supervisor work with them.
A master electrician, on the other hand, oversees a team of labourers and electricians and is responsible for the schedule. The master electrician may be the person who oversees the journeyman.
