Electrical trades bring buildings to life through the systems that generate, distribute and control power, deliver lighting, enable connectivity, and support life-safety, security and automation. These skilled trades build, connect and maintain the electrical systems that keep buildings safe, businesses operating, technology running and communities powered. From essential infrastructure to advanced controls and smart systems, electrical contractors make modern life possible.
Construction Electrician
Construction electricians construct and service electrical infrastructure. The scope of the trade includes planning assembling, installing, trouble shooting, repairing, testing and maintaining electrical fixtures, and systems that provide heat, light, power or control in residential, commercial and industrial buildings.

They must have the experience to safely remove electrical services and systems as well as assess the suitability of existing services for future use. Many electricians specialize in specific types of installations such as new home construction or in the institutional (schools, hospitals, etc.), commercial or industrial sectors.
The Construction Electrician Trade is a Red Seal Trade recognized as a compulsory trade within Manitoba regulations.
