A person, who installs, maintains, or repairs equipment or wiring is known as an electrician. They typically focus on installing electrical wiring for structures, transmission lines, stationary machinery, and other electric infrastructure or equipment. An electrician can also be used to wire data and cable lines, ships, aeroplanes, mobile platforms, and other things. Hospitals, research, and the marine industries all use electricians.

Linemen, who operate with greater voltages, and wiremen, who deal with lower voltages, are the two main groups separated for electricians. One of the five specialisations, including commercial, residential, and industrial, is taught to wiremen during their training. Larger jobs like maintaining a full electrical system on a building or a floor of an office building are more common for construction electricians. Typically, electricians work with licenced electrical contractors who supply them with the necessary equipment and function as their liaisons with clients, architects, and engineers. These contractors are in charge of both hiring skilled electricians and vetting the safety of the tools the electricians use. The military can hire electricians since it continuously needs their equipment to function effectively and in top condition.
